Israeli officials were outraged Wednesday over U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' comment that Hamas' attack on Israel 'did not happen in a vacuum.'
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres addresses the 77th session of the General Assembly at U.N. headquarters Tuesday, Sept. 20, 2022. Israeli officials were outraged Wednesday over U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' comment that the deadly Hamas attack on southern Israel "did not happen in a vacuum," calling it justification for terrorism.
that was sparked by the militant group's Oct.7 attack, which left at least 1,400 Israelis dead, and more than 220 taken hostage. The U.N. chief told the council that he "condemned unequivocally the horrifying and unprecedented 7 October acts of terror by Hamas in Israel." "Nothing can justify the deliberate killing, injuring and kidnapping of civilians — or the launching of rockets against civilian targets," he said.
On Wednesday, Guterres tried to walk back the comments, tweeting: "The grievances of the Palestinian people cannot justify the horrific attacks by Hamas. Those horrendous attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people."The slaughter of Jew by Hamas on October 7th was genocidal in its intents and immeasurably brutal in its form," Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan said in a statement.
