BEIRUT, December 1. /TASS/. The international community led by the US, in allowing Israel to resume its operation in the Gaza Strip, bears the responsibility for the continuation of the conflict, the enclave's government said in a statement.

"The international community, led by the US, represented by President [Joe Biden] and Secretary of State [Antony Blinken] is responsible for the Israeli occupier's crimes and the continuation of its brutal war against civilians, women and children in the Gaza Strip, giving it the green light to resume hostilities without respecting the rules of warfare and international law, including humanitarian law," reads the statement, published on the Gaza Strip government's Telegram channel.

On Friday morning, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Hamas of violating the ceasefire and announced renewed fighting in the Gaza Strip. According to Al Jazeera, at least four people were killed in an Israeli strike on the town of Rafah and another two Palestinians died in an attack on the Maghazi refugee camp.
