Israel has strongly criticized a senior UN official for his remarks asserting that Hamas is not a terrorist organization. Martin Griffiths, the UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator, stated on Sky News that Hamas is viewed as a political movement rather than a terrorist group.
Hamas, however, holds the designation of a terrorist organization by the European Union and several Western countries.
In response to Griffiths' comments, Israeli Foreign Minister Yisrael Katz condemned the UN official, stating, "Shame on him... The United Nations reaches a new low every day. We will eliminate Hamas with or without them. Jewish blood is not cheap."
The exchange highlights the ongoing tensions between Israel and the United Nations regarding the classification of Hamas and the broader geopolitical implications of such designations.
As Israel continues to grapple with security challenges posed by groups like Hamas, diplomatic tensions persist over differing interpretations of their nature and activities.
The controversy underscores the complexities of international relations and the challenges of addressing terrorism within the framework of global diplomacy.
