WATCH: Foreign Press Association chief — ‘It doesn’t matter if journalists are part of Hamas’

In a stunning remark, Foreign Press Association head Ian Williams claimed Hamas is a political group and argued that, just as Western nations don’t kill reporters from opposing factions, Israel shouldn’t target journalists—even if they work for Hamas.

Jaw-dropping statement from @FPANewYork president Ian Williams:

"Frankly, I don't care if al-Sharif was in Hamas or not. We don't kill journalists for being Republicans or Democrats or Labour Party. Hamas is a political organization, as well as a terrorist organization, perhaps" pic.twitter.com/sdC55Nnmjf
