A senior Hamas official has defended carrying out the deadly October 7 attacks on Israel, telling CNN that it created a “golden moment” for the Palestinian cause despite the tens of thousands of deaths in Gaza.

Three Palestinians accused of “collaborating” with Israel were executed  by masked Hamas terrorists in front of a cheering crowd in Gaza on Sunday.

Hamas is a terrorist organization committed to Israel’s destruction. But some of its foremost victims aren’t Israeli Jews — they’re Arab.

His speech came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu heads to New York to give his own address in person on Friday.

American veterans are working with the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation to get aid to Palestinians in need of food after facing nearly two years of war.

Some Israeli officials believe the military assault on Gaza City will deliver a decisive blow to the group, which continues to stage ambushes and guerrilla attacks.

The fast-moving diplomatic events are mostly symbolic, but the resentment across Israel’s political class shows how isolated the Jewish state has become two years into its war with Hamas.

President Donald Trump condemned France, U.K., Australia and Canada for recognizing a Palestinian state, saying it encourages continued conflict and emboldens Hamas after Oct. 7 attacks.
