IDF spokesman says Hamas atrocities being ignored as Israel accused

In response to the ongoing legal proceedings at the International Court of Justice against the military’s war in the Gaza Strip, IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari says Israel will not allow the world to forget Hamas’s October 7 atrocities.

“In these days, it is important to mention that we are fighting in a just war like no other. A war that the enemy chose to open, knowingly, as it carried out crimes against humanity and cruel acts not seen in the Western world for decades,” he tells his nightly press conference.

He says many of the atrocities are documented “by the terrorists themselves. But despite this, many in the world attempt to ignore them, as if they did not happen.”

“No, they occurred. And we remember, and we will not forget, and we will not allow the world to forget,” he says.

Changing to speaking in English, Hagari says “We will never forget the Hamas massacre of October 7th. We will never let the world forget the Hamas massacre of October 7th. We will never let the world forget the hostages being held by Hamas since October 7th.”

“Never again is our call to action, because never again is now,” he adds.
