A spokesman for the Palestinian Authority presidency said: “The massacre in al-Mawasi is a continuation of the genocidal war against our people, and the US administration bears responsibility for the continuation of the massacres.”

In a statement Nabil Abu Rudeineh added, “Without blind and biased American support, this occupation would not have been able to continue its bloody crimes against our people, and to defy international laws and the decisions of international courts that have demanded an end to the onslaught and protection for our people.”
