The African Union says Israel’s response to Hamas’s massacre last month was “inexcusable,” warning that civilian casualties would fuel further “extremism.”
“The acts (of Hamas) are reprehensible… but the response is inexcusable,” AU chairman Azali Assoumani tells a press conference in Berlin.
“Imagine a child who has seen his mother, who has seen his father killed… it creates extremism,” he says.
