On Saturday, Hamas called on Iran not to target neighboring countries in the Gulf region in response to the U.S. and Israeli airstrikes, urging regional countries to cooperate to stop the war.
In a statement, Hamas said that while it affirms the Islamic Republic of Iran's “right” to respond to this aggression by all available means in accordance with international norms and laws, it calls on its brothers in Iran not to target neighboring countries.
The movement also urged all countries in the region to cooperate to stop this aggression and preserve the bonds of brotherhood among them.
Hamas emphasized that “stopping this war is in the interest of the Islamic nation and the region,” calling on all countries and international organizations “to work to end it immediately.”
It said it “appreciates all the efforts made by various countries to prevent its outbreak and to prioritize dialogue and diplomacy.”
Hamas reaffirmed “its strong condemnation of the U.S.-Israeli aggression” against Iran, “which violates international law and international humanitarian law and threatens security and peace in the region and the world.”
