The AU leaders condemn Israeli action in Gaza

Addis Ababa (QJ) Hamas has praised the African Union (AU) for condemning Israel’s ongoing massacres in Gaza. This comes after the AU, in a statement following its two-day summit in Addis Ababa, accused Israel of violating international law.

Hamas expressed deep appreciation for African nations’ “principled and courageous stance” against Israel and its “brutal actions” in Gaza.

The group described the AU’s position as a natural response, given Africa’s historical struggle against “colonialism and injustice.”

In its report, the AU opposed violations of international law and the targeting of civilians and infrastructure by Israel.

“Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinian people, and it must be held accountable before international courts,” the statement read.
