Hamas official: US envoy’s Gaza visit is publicity stunt

A senior Hamas official has described the visit of US Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff to Gaza as a “publicity stunt” aimed at containing growing anger over US-Israeli involvement in the ongoing starvation of people in the Strip. In a statement on Thursday, Izzat al-Rishq, a member of Hamas’s political bureau, said: “Witkoff only sees in Gaza what the Israeli occupation wants him to see. He views the ongoing tragedy through a distorted Israeli lens.” He stressed that the US envoy “will not witness the workings of the hunger guillotine known as the ‘Gaza Humanitarian Foundation’, nor how it prepares the killing ground for the Zionist war machine.” READ: Trump’s special envoy to enter Gaza on Friday to inspect food distribution […]
