Hamas rejects Gaza Board of Peace statement on Israeli terrorist strike on Nasser hospital

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas has strongly rejected a statement by the US-backed Gaza Board of Peace regarding the latest Israeli terrorist airstrike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, which killed at least six Palestinians, including medical staff, and wounded dozens more. In a statement issued on Thursday, Hamas said the so-called Board of Peace had fully adopted the Israeli regime’s misleading narrative and deliberately obscured the occupation’s systematic targeting of civilians and medical infrastructure.

“The attempt to hold the victim responsible for the crimes committed against them by repeating the occupation’s claims and lies about the use of hospitals for military purposes represents a clear bias that contradicts the responsibilities entrusted to this council and is inconsistent with the most basic standards of objectivity and justice,” the movement said. Palestinian health officials and hospital staff confirmed that Israeli warplanes struck the surgery and intensive care sections of the Nasser complex overnight without prior warning, destroying critical facilities that serve hundreds of thousands of people in southern Gaza.

Among the martyred was a surgeon, with patients and medical personnel among the casualties. This marks the latest in a series of attacks on Nasser, which has been repeatedly targeted since the start of the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, further crippling an already collapsed health system. The Israeli regime claimed the strike targeted a Hamas commander and other fighters allegedly using the hospital as a headquarters, an assertion Hamas has categorically rejected as a pretext for war crimes.

Hamas stressed that it would have been more appropriate for the Board of Peace to condemn the targeting of civilians and protected medical facilities, demand independent international investigations, and hold those responsible accountable. The resistance movement also condemned the international community’s ongoing silence in the face of Israel’s daily violations of the ceasefire that took effect in October 2025, describing the inaction of international organizations as a blatant failure to fulfill legal and moral responsibilities.

The Board of Peace, chaired by US President Donald Trump and involving figures such as Jared Kushner and Tony Blair, has been tasked with overseeing Gaza’s transition under a US plan widely viewed by Palestinian factions as imposing external control while failing to halt occupation aggression or ensure the entry of adequate aid and reconstruction materials. Doctors Without Borders expresses 'outrage' over Israeli air strike Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, has expressed “outrage” in its condemnation of the Israeli air strike on the Nasser Medical Complex in Gaza.

In a statement, the organization said it “is utterly appalled and outraged” at the attack on Nasser’s surgery building. “Among the injured, MSF has already treated two doctors and a third patient, all of whom required surgery, in a separate building.” “Since October 2023, the hospital has been hit by at least six airstrikes, in addition to repeated ground incursions, shelling and gunfire,” the statement added. “In no conceivable circumstances can attacks on functioning hospitals in Gaza be treated as normal or acceptable.”

MSF called on the international community “to move beyond statements of condemnation and take concrete action to ensure the protection of patients, healthcare workers, and facilities in Gaza.” Spain says Israeli bombing violates international law Spain has strongly condemned Israeli strikes on Nasser Hospital, calling them another serious violation of international humanitarian law. The Spanish Foreign Ministry expressed solidarity with the families of those killed and wished a speedy recovery to the injured.

The ministry also said the attack violated the ceasefire agreement reached in October 2025, stressing that the Geneva Conventions protect hospitals and medical personnel during wars and that medical facilities must never be treated as military targets.
