TEHRAN (IRNA) -- First Deputy Head of Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Ismaeil Kowsari said on Sunday that Hamas should not accept unilateral ceasefire declared by the Zionists and never hesitate to target their strategic positions with missiles.

Speaking to IRNA, he said that the Zionists regime, the U.S. as well as treacherous Arab heads of states should understand that they cannot launch any aggression and commit crimes whenever they wish and bring them to a halt through unilateral ceasefire in the face of defeat.
Zionists officials, along with the U.S. and heads of Arab states, assume that the people of the world are ignorant, he said.
They try to show that the Zionist regime has attained the objectives of its operations to order a ceasefire in Gaza, he said.
The fact is that the U.S. and heads of Arab and European states should be held accountable for these inhuman crimes because they gave the green light to the Zionists to savagely target innocent civilians in Gaza, he said.
""Why did the Zionists not heed UNSC Resolution 1860 calling for an immediate ceasefire ten days ago?"" he asked.
The Zionists tried to bring Gazans and Hamas movement to their knees but to no avail and now they have decided to declare a unilateral ceasefire to conceal their failure, said the MP.
All those involved in the genocide of Gazans should be brought to justice, Kowsari said.
He also called for reopening the Rafah border crossing for humanitarian aid to the needy people in Gaza.
The Zionists should leave the occupied areas and should understand that the Palestinians are able to defend their legitimate rights and drive out the occupiers, he pointed out.
Criticizing the silence of Arab heads of states including Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan in the face of the crimes and atrocities of the Zionists forces in Gaza, he said that these countries assume that the people of the world are ignorant and they are the only one with political understanding and knowledge, he said.
Treacherous Arab leaders in Egypt and Saudi Arabia (Hosni Mubarak and King Abdullah) authorized the Zionists to target defenseless Muslims in Gaza, he underlined adding that without their consent, the Zionists would never have permitted themselves to commit such inhuman crimes in Gaza.
