The United Nations may want to sit this one out, given what the UNRWA got in hot water for recently, but their Relief Chief, Martin Griffiths, didn't get the memo.
“Hamas is not a terrorist group, but for us as you know is a political movement”.
- Martin Griffiths, United Nations Relief Chief.
-- We have no words.
UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths told a representative from Sky News on Wednesday that he did not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group.
Asked about the feasibility of Israel’s military goal to eliminate Hamas and disallow the terrorist group from having any governing say in Gaza, Griffiths responded “Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it is a political movement.
But, I think it is very very difficult to dislodge these groups without a negotiated solution; which includes their aspirations.
