If they [Hamas] want details about their damned terrorists [then they should] pass on information about our heroic abductees.” He added, “It is a logical, normal, moral and legal demand,and any normal country would demand it. It’s good that the state attorney’s office understood and accepted my position.” The Red Cross has been widely criticized for its handling of the hostage crisis during the current war between Israel and Hamas.Read Hamas terrorists plotted to assassinate Israeli minister and his sonRequests from family members of hostages and even Prime Minister Netanyahu himself to deliver medicine to captives in Gaza were denied by the humanitarian organization.Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, had strong words for the Red Cross for refusing to condemn the terrorist group for the October 7th massacre and for not reporting on the condition of hostages in Gaza.“Hamas commits a serious and abominable war crime and the Red Cross covers it up, refuses to publicly condemn it and never presents to the world the monstrous behavior of Hamas towards the abductees,” Erdan saidHe added, “They violate every day, every hour, international law, by not even allowing access to see the conditions of the hostages. It’s the most severe violation of international law.” ben gvirhamas hostagesHamas terroristsInternational Committee of the Red Crossjailed terrorists
