The reaction of the Israeli ambassador in Athens Noam Katz, caused by the statement allegedly made by Stefanos Kasselakis to Alpha that “part of Hamas is carrying out terrorist acts.”

“It is as if one were to claim that only a part of ISIS are terrorists” notes Noam Katz, who cites the video of the female Hamas hostages.

“I heard part of the interview of #SYRIZA leader @skasselakis on Alpha TV. Claiming that “part of #Hamas carries out terrorist acts” is like claiming that only part of ISIS are terrorists. Hamas is a genocidal, murderous terrorist organization from its top echelons to its base. All are responsible for the horrific massacre in Israel on October 7th. The statements, teachings and actions of its leaders reveal its true terrorist nature. If one is truly interested in a better future for the region, both for Israel and for the Palestinians, Hamas should not and cannot be a part of it. This is the brutality that Hamas represents. These women are still captives» emphasizes the Israeli diplomat in his post on X.

The video of the five women, of IDF members kidnapped by Hamas on October 7 from the Nahal Oz base, the Hostage and Disappeared Families Forum announced today.

The video of the women, captured by Hamas gunmen’s body cameras, is 3:10 minutes long and has been edited to remove harsh footage.
