On Universal Children’s Day, the Palestinian resistance group Hamas issued a statement asserting that Palestinian children are being deprived of rights recognized under various United Nations conventions. The group criticized Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, claiming they have destroyed essential life foundations such as food, medicine, clean water, healthcare, education, and psychological support. Hamas described these actions as violations of international conventions, humanitarian values, and UN resolutions that guarantee children’s rights. The organization called for international prosecution of Israeli leaders for alleged crimes against children and appealed for global recognition of Palestinian children’s rights to protection and justice, equal to those of children worldwide. The statement comes amid intensified Israeli airstrikes on Gaza, which have reportedly resulted in dozens of civilian deaths.
