Hamas’s statement on the Israeli violations of the agreement concluded in Sharm El-Sheikh

The Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas signed the agreement concluded in Sharm El-Sheikh on October 9, 2025, which stipulates the commitment of both parties to all its articles, appendices, and mechanisms, under the sponsorship and guarantee of Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States.

The Hamas movement has adhered to the implementation of the agreement with full, precise, and faithful commitment. Neither the mediators nor the guarantors have presented any evidence or proof that the movement has violated it or obstructed its implementation. Instead, Hamas has worked with all effort and sincerity to apply the agreement in letter and spirit to achieve stability and lift the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip.

In contrast, the Israeli occupation authorities have deliberately violated the agreement since the first day the ceasefire came into effect and have committed numerous serious crimes and violations against civilians. These violations have been documented and presented to the mediators, accompanied by photographs, lists, and conclusive evidence.

These violations are as follows:

First: The killing and targeting of civilians

Occupation forces deliberately targeted and opened fire on civilians in areas where they were permitted to move, leading to the martyrdom of 46 individuals and the injury of 132 citizens with varying wounds up to the time of this statement’s issuance (2:30 pm). Half of the martyrs and injured are children, women, and the elderly. Among the martyrs is the Abu Shaaban family, which was completely annihilated, including seven children and two women.

These deliberate criminal operations represent a continuation of the policy of aggression and terrorism, and an attempt to undermine and foil the agreement.

Second: Occupation forces’ activity exceeding the “Yellow Line” stipulated in the agreement:

Occupation forces continue to impose fire control over a strip extending along the temporary withdrawal line known as the “Yellow Line,” at distances ranging from 600 to 1,500 meters to the south, east, and north of the Gaza Strip, preventing citizens from returning to their homes. This is carried out by firing artillery shells, using quadcopter drones, and shooting from military vehicles and observation cranes. The targeted area covers 45 square kilometers, constituting a flagrant breach of the temporary withdrawal line, with the continued incursion of military vehicles within this strip.

Third: Non-compliance with the humanitarian protocol and banning the entry of numerous food items

The agreement stipulates the entry of humanitarian and food aid in large and sufficient quantities in accordance with the understanding of January 19, 2025. However, the occupation forces have not complied with the terms of the agreement and have taken contrary measures, most notably:

1. Banning the entry of many essential items such as meat, eggs, chicken, and live livestock.
2. Allowing the entry of very limited quantities of fuel and cooking gas. Only 3 gas trucks and 29 fuel trucks were permitted entry over nine days, whereas the agreement stipulates the entry of 50 fuel trucks daily. This means that what has entered constitutes only 7.1 percent of what was agreed upon.
3. The closure of the Zikim crossing, which facilitates the reception of aid coming from Jordan.
4. Banning the entry of agricultural seeds, fodder, fertilizers, and solar panels necessary for agricultural production.

Fourth: Failure to allow entry of necessary supplies for the restoration and rehabilitation of infrastructure

The agreement provides for the restarting of the power plant, the repair of vital facilities and sewage lines, and the restoration of hospitals. However, the occupation continues to prevent the entry of the necessary supplies for this, including:

1. Civil defence and ambulance vehicles and equipment, as well as medical devices and equipment.
2. Materials and supplies for the rehabilitation of communication, road, water, and sanitation networks.
3. Cash liquidity for banks and the failure to replace old paper currency that has become worn out after two years of use.
4. Construction materials necessary for the reconstruction of infrastructure, service facilities, hospitals, and public bakeries.

Fifth: Released detainees

1. The occupation continues its intransigence and delay in releasing the women and children who remain in detention.
2. To date, the occupation has not complied with providing the movement a precise and comprehensive list of the names and data of the detainees in its prisons, nor the names of the hundreds of martyrs whose bodies it continues to hold.
3. The occupation has not complied with allowing the families of released and deported detainees (from the January 19 and October 9 deals) to leave the West Bank to meet their relatives.
4. Detainees were subjected to systematic beatings, humiliation, and torture. Even those who were released, the occupation continued to humiliate, starve, and beat them until the moment they were handed over to the Red Cross.

Sixth: Desecration of the bodies of martyrs

In a war crime and a crime against humanity, the resistance received the bodies of 150 martyrs. Some had their hands tied and were blindfolded, while others showed signs of hanging or being crushed under the tracks of occupation tanks, confirming that the occupation had executed them while they were prisoners. Furthermore, the identities of most of the bodies are still unknown. The movement demands the expedited entry of DNA testing equipment to identify the martyrs, in addition to the entry of heavy machinery to remove the rubble under which thousands of martyrs still lie. What has occurred is a fully-fledged war crime and a crime against humanity that necessitates international accountability and justice.

The Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, affirms its adherence to the agreement and its implementation with all precision and responsibility. It demands that the mediators and guarantors compel the occupation to respect and implement its clauses in letter and spirit, and to cease all violations and infringements that threaten to undermine it.

The Movement also affirms that it has committed fully, precisely, and faithfully to all articles of the agreement, its appendices, and its implementation mechanisms, out of its concern for achieving stability and lifting the suffering of our people in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, the occupation continues its threats and repeated daily violations, in a flagrant breach of what was signed.

The Hamas movement holds the occupation authorities fully responsible for any deterioration or collapse of the agreement and calls on the mediators and the international community to intervene urgently to stop these aggressive practices and ensure the implementation of the agreement in a way that achieves security and stability for our Palestinian people.
