Hamas has suggested that August 3 be declared world Gaza and Palestinian prisoners support day that would be the beginning of non-stop actions in support for the enclave’s residents and Palestinians who are held in Israeli prisons until the cessation of hostilities in the enclave, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh said, Paralel.Az reports citing TASS.

"Let August 3 be national and world day for the support of Gaza and [Palestinian] prisoners, which will be followed by non-stop mass actions until the war against the Palestinian people ends," Hamas quoted him as saying on its Telegram channel.

The Hamas leader stressed the "need for effective national, Arab, Islamic and international participation in this non-stop process" of support for the enclave’s population and Palestinian prisoners.

According to Haniyeh, this call is caused by "international silence and inability to stop the war in Gaza, the American administration’s biasedness and total support [for Israel]," as well as "the inability of human rights and humanitarian organizations to undertake responsibility for the support for the rights of the Palestinian people in Gaza and prisoners in [Israeli] jails."
