Gaza City, December 31 (RHC)-- U.S. President Joe Biden is a partner in crime to Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s massacre of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, says Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas' political bureau.

The United States has since supplied the Tel Aviv regime with more than 10,000 tons of military equipment, and used its veto power against all United Nations Security Council resolutions that called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

The international rights advocacy groups as well as Palestinian resistance movements have described Washington as an accomplice in Israel's genocidal war.

The Tel Aviv regime launched the devastating war on Gaza on October 7th after the territory’s Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory attack, dubbed Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, against the occupying entity.

The relentless Israeli military campaign against Gaza has claimed the lives of more than 21,000 people, most of them children and women.  Over 55,000 people have also been wounded, with thousands more believed lost and buried under the rubble.

The United Nations has described the situation in Gaza as “beyond catastrophic,” with residents struggling to find food, water and fuel, while living in crowded shelters or tents.
