Amid outcry in Israel over his assertion that Hamas is not a terror organization, UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths engages in some damage control.
“Just to clarify: Hamas is not on the list of groups designated as terrorist organizations by the United Nations Security Council,” he tweets.
“This doesn’t make their acts of terror on 7 October any less horrific and reprehensible, as I’ve been saying all along,” Griffiths says.
