Palestinian Resistance Accuses Milei of Justifying the Genocide in Gaza

The anti-occupation Palestinian resistance group, Hamas, accused the Javier Mile’s government of Argentina of having a “blatant bias” by declaring the Islamist group a terrorist organization, and justifying the “crimes of genocide” in the Gaza Strip.

“It is a clear attempt to justify the genocide and crimes of ethnic cleansing committed by neo-Nazis from the occupation against children and women in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement.

Argentina’s President Javier Milei declared the Palestinian armed group Hamas an “international terrorist organization for the Argentine state.”

“We believe that this unjust decision is wrong and biased in favour of the Nazi occupation, which is before the International Court of Justice for committing the crime of genocide against our Palestinian people,” Hamas said.

The armed Palestinian group demanded that the Argentine government retract that decision, and “refrain from aligning itself with the criminal narrative of the Zionist occupation and side with justice and the right of peoples to freedom and self-determination.”

Since taking power, Milei has aligned himself with Israel, where he carried out in February one of his first official visits abroad and announced the transfer of the Argentine embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
