The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) pledged to adhere to a ceasefire if the International Court of Justice issued a decision to do so and Israel adhered to it, on the eve of the court’s expected decisions in The Hague.
The movement said in a statement that it is following with great interest the deliberations of the International Court of Justice after the request submitted by South Africa to “stop genocide” against the Palestinian people, especially in Gaza.
Hamas said that its position is based on the basic principles of reciprocity and international law.
In the event that the decision is issued by the court in The Hague to cease fire, Hamas will adhere to the ceasefire “as long as the enemy adheres to it,” and Hamas will release the Israeli prisoners it is holding if Israel releases the Palestinian prisoners detained in it.
Hamas stressed the need to end the Israeli siege that has been ongoing for 18 years on Gaza, and to enter all necessary aid for population relief and reconstruction.
