Hamas Reveals Herzog’s Purpose for Trip to Two African Countries

the ⁢English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News⁣ Agency and‍ al-Mayadeen, reports that ‌Hamas ​issued a statement ‍responding to Israeli president Isaac Herzog’s upcoming visit to Zambia and Congo.

Hamas‍ emphasized that such trips aim to ‍influence⁢ the anti-colonial stances of African countries that support the rights of the Palestinian people.

The statement added that welcoming a war criminal‍ whose hands are stained ​with innocent blood equates to actively participating in whitewashing the image​ of the occupying regime and normalizing its genocidal crimes⁣ against Palestinians-crimes whose consequences persist due to ongoing violations of ceasefire terms and continual aggressions.

Hamas called on all‌ nations worldwide to ⁤impose ​sanctions on the Israeli regime and its leaders. It​ also urged ‍African countries to refrain from establishing any relations⁤ with Zionist occupiers and to maintain their historic role in‌ opposing oppression and ⁣colonialism.

Herzog is scheduled to visit Zambia and​ the Democratic Republic of Congo, where he will meet with officials. He will⁤ be the first Israeli president ⁢ever to travel to Zambia.
