Hamas rejects Washington's accusations regarding an "imminent attack on the residents of Gaza."

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) strongly rejected the accusations made by the U.S. State Department regarding an "imminent attack" that the movement intends to carry out "against the residents of Gaza."

The movement stated in a statement today, Sunday, "These false claims are completely in line with misleading Israeli propaganda."

Hamas pointed out that the statements from the U.S. State Department provide the Israeli occupation with political cover to continue its aggression against the Palestinian people.

Hamas categorically denied the U.S. allegations regarding the existence of an "imminent attack" or "violation of the ceasefire agreement," affirming that the ground realities reveal the exact opposite.

The U.S. State Department stated late yesterday, Saturday, that it had received "reliable reports" indicating an imminent violation of the agreement by Hamas "against the residents of Gaza."

The department added in a statement, "If Hamas proceeds with this attack, measures will be taken to protect the residents of Gaza and maintain the safety of the ceasefire."

No details were provided in this regard.

Hamas, in its statement, indicated that the Israeli occupation authorities "are the ones who formed, armed, and funded criminal gangs" involved in acts of killing and kidnapping, stealing humanitarian aid, and perpetrating assaults on Palestinian civilians.

It added that these crimes are documented through public confessions and video clips broadcast by Israeli media.

The statement emphasized that the security forces in Gaza, with broad popular support, are carrying out their national duties in "pursuing these gangs and holding them accountable within clear legal frameworks," with the aim of protecting citizens and preserving public and private property in the sector.

Hamas called on the U.S. administration to "stop repeating the misleading narrative of the occupation" and to work on "curbing its repeated violations of the ceasefire agreement, foremost among them supporting these gangs and providing them with safe havens within the areas under its control."

U.S. President Donald Trump stated that he would consider allowing Israeli forces to resume fighting in Gaza if Hamas does not comply with its commitments under the agreement he mediated.
