Ahead of Hague trial, Israel launches website documenting Hamas massacre

A day before Israel stands at The Hague to face South Africa’s accusations of genocide, the National Public Diplomacy Directorate announces a new website, “Oct. 7 2023, Hamas Massacre: Documentation of Crimes Against Humanity.”
The site was created in conjunction with the IDF Spokesperson’s Office, is only accessible outside of Israel, and features extremely gruesome photos and videos of the brutal Hamas massacre.
“We will continue and work so that the citizens of the world cannot remain indifferent to the horrible massacre we experienced,” says Moshik Aviv, head of the directorate.
“It is an important explanatory and political tool, which presents serious crimes against humanity. Tomorrow we will appear at the court in The Hague, and this website will help the State of Israel in its mission to remind the world that we are the victim.”
