Hamas claims comments attributed to official who criticized Oct. 7 attack impact on Gaza were ‘taken out of context’

In a statement, Hamas claims that comments attributed to politburo official Moussa Abu-Marzouk by the New York Times, in which he said he would not have backed the October 7, 2023, attacks had he known what the impact on Gaza would be, were “incorrect and taken out of context.”

“The interview was conducted a few days ago and the published statements did not reflect the full content of the answers,” the terror group claims.
