Following the shocking news of the murders of Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity in Gaza, Foreign Minister Katz has taken swift action. He has instructed Israeli embassies worldwide to urge top officials to take action against Hamas and Iran, calling the murders a “shocking war crime by a murderous terrorist organization.”
Israel demands that the international community condemn the heinous murder and take measures against Hamas and its supporters, particularly Iran. The Foreign Minister emphasized the need for support for Israel and not its enemies.
The bodies of the six hostages were found in a tunnel, revealing they were shot at close range by Hamas terrorists. Minister Katz further demanded the release of 101 hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
Emphasizing Iran’s role in supporting terrorist activities, the embassies were instructed to highlight the destructive influence of the Iranian regime. Israel remains committed to protecting its citizens and territory against the threats posed by Hamas and Iran.
