Herzog to NBC: Israel does not support Gaza displacement, reveals Hamas document for ‘terror summer camps’

President Isaac Herzog reveals in an interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” what he says is a Hamas document discovered by the IDF in Gaza about summer camps hosted by the terror group.

Speaking on the news show, Herzog says that the recently recovered document “is a directive by the commanders of Hamas as to how to manage summer camps for children in order to disseminate the values of jihad. It says it clearly to disseminate the values of jihad, and the values of the resistance meaning terror, and how to make it a militarized society.”

The president says that while normally summer camps are about enabling “youngsters, kids and adolescents to become citizens of the free world and with liberty, with happiness with joy, with sports — here their entire aim is to make them terrorists.”

Herzog also says that the government of Israel does not in any way support encouraging mass displacement of Palestinians from Gaza, saying it is “totally not the position of the Israeli government or the Israeli parliament or the Israeli public.”

He notes that while some ministers have spoken out in favor of such a move, “people can say whatever they want, in a cabinet of 30 ministers, a minister can say whatever he wants, this is Israeli politics.”
