GAZA May 01. 2024 (Saba) - The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has affirmed that Palestinian workers continue to endure the most brutal forms of abuse, torture, persecution, siege, racism, oppression, and denial of basic rights for the past 76 years.
In a press release on International Workers' Day, the movement called for a global movement to criminalize Zionist enemy violations against Palestinian workers and to fulfill their aspirations for freedom on their land.
It pointed to the escalating crimes and violations of the enemy amid the genocidal war it is waging against the Palestinian people.
Hamas highlighted the brutal escalation of the occupation aggression against Palestine's workers, who constitute a crucial pillar of its steadfast fabric, facing the Zionist war machine in Gaza, the West Bank, a-Quds, and the occupied territories.
Hamas clarified that celebrating this international day is an important occasion to shed light on the suffering of Palestinian workers inside and outside occupied Palestine due to escalating Zionist occupation and violations against their legitimate rights. Foremost among these are liberation from occupation, freedom of work and movement, and living a dignified life on their land and in places of refuge, as they look forward to returning to their homes from which they were displaced.
The Zionist enemy bears full responsibility for the repercussions of its escalated crimes, barbaric raids on cities and refugee camps in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, deliberate killing, systematic destruction of infrastructure, and hindering the lives of innocent citizens.
Hamas stressed the enemy's flagrant violations of all international laws and conventions, constituting an extension of the genocide it practices against our people in Gaza.
Hamas also reiterated its rejection of all forms of targeting against the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) by the Zionist enemy, through false allegations proven false against the workers therein, considering it a crime against Palestinian rights and humanity, and a desperate attempt to conceal evidence of its crimes in displacing our people and uprooting them from their roots.
It called on all countries to continue supporting the agency, to bear its responsibilities and humanitarian role towards it, and to enable Palestinian refugees wherever they are to exercise their legitimate rights, especially the right to work.
The movement also called on international organizations and human rights institutions to fulfill their responsibilities, expose the occupation's crimes against Palestinian workers, move to lift the oppressive blockade on Gaza, which tightens their livelihoods and freedoms, and the necessity of granting them their legitimate rights to work and live freely and with dignity on their land.
Hamas renewed its call to labor movements, unions, and workers' unions worldwide to organize solidarity demonstrations and events supporting the rights of Palestinian workers in Gaza, the West Bank, al-Quds, and the occupied territories, rejecting, condemning, and exposing all forms of crime and injustice they face.
It urged labor movements in all countries, especially workers in the transportation and port sectors, not to deal with Zionist shipping companies and to intensify all forms of boycott against the criminal entity that has committed genocide and ethnic cleansing for over half a year against the Palestinian people in Gaza.
