UN Relief Chief and Israeli Officials Clash Over Hamas Terrorist Designation
UN Relief Chief Martin Griffiths stated that he does not consider Hamas to be a terrorist group, emphasizing the need for a negotiated solution to dislodge such groups and expressing concern over Israel's military operations in Rafah. His comments have sparked controversy, with Israeli officials condemning his stance and accusing the UN of supporting Hamas. This comes amid strained relations between Israel and the UN, with allegations of UNRWA staff involvement in Hamas attacks and the discovery of a Hamas tunnel beneath a UNRWA headquarters.
