UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres responded to the words of UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Martin Griffiths, who said "Hamas is not a terrorist organization for us. This is a political movement."
A statement from his office said that: "The Secretary-General has been unequivocal in condemning the abhorrent terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on 7 October and that there can be no justification for them. Martin Griffiths and other senior officials have made similar statements. That position has not changed. For the United Nations, designations of groups as terrorist organizations can only be made by the Security Council."
Yemen's Armed Forces spokesman said Friday that the air force carried out 20 precise airstrikes over three hours, targeting Houthi "movements, reinforcements, gatherings, elements, vehicles and military equipment" in Taiz governorate.
US President Donald Trump threatened Thursday to strike Iran "very hard" if Tehran's involvement is confirmed in the mid-air knife attack on the pilot of a Flydubai flight, as Israel pointed to "Islamist indoctrination" of the co-pilot.
The Indian pilot stabbed by his co-pilot on a flydubai flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv replayed the dramatic attack and his desperate effort to open the cockpit door to seek help, in a video call with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday.
