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."
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz proposed Thursday that Turkey take in Hamas members from Gaza, amid growing tensions between Ankara and Jerusalem, a suggestion delivered with all the diplomatic subtlety of a passive-aggressive group chat message.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said on Thursday that Serbia had opened a factory to assemble advanced Israeli-made drones, which will supply the Serbian military and armed forces in other countries.
Greece's parliament lifted the immunity of one of the country's former European Commissioners on Thursday, clearing the way for further action by authorities investigating the "Qatargate" corruption case, one of the biggest scandals to hit the EU.
