The Israeli Ambassador to Ghana, Shlomit Sufa, has said Hamas is a terrorist group that is causing harm to people. According to her, we need to beat the Harmas to keep people safe. Israel and Hamas are fighting each other. Hamas is a group of terrorists who launched an attack on Israel on October 7.
They killed about 1400 innocent people who were just living their lives near Gaza. The terrorists killed those people in a really cruel and not humane way.
“They brought 240 people as hostages to Gaza. Our aim is to destroy the Harams in this war and free our hostages,” she said on the Hot Issue with Kemmini Amanor on TV3 on Sunday, November 12th. Hamas attacked Israel on Saturday with lots of fighters entering communities near the Gaza Strip.
At least 1,300 Israelis have died, and many soldiers and civilians, including women and children, are being kept as hostages in Gaza. Over 1,300 Palestinians have been killed in many air attacks on Gaza by Israel’s military. Israel has also stopped all essential supplies from entering Gaza.
It is gathering soldiers at the Gaza border and Palestinians are getting ready for a ground attack that could cause more deaths. Britain took over Palestine after the Ottoman Empire lost in World War One.
The area had mostly Arab people, but also some Jewish and other smaller groups. Conflict between two groups increased when the UK was asked to create a “homeland” for Jewish people in Palestine by the international community.
This started from a promise made by Arthur Balfour in 1917 to the Jewish people in Britain. The statement was written into the British rule over Palestine and approved by the new League of Nations in 1922.
Jews thought Palestine was their old home, but Palestinian Arabs also said it was theirs and didn’t like the idea. From the 1920s to the 1940s, a lot of Jews went there, running away from being hurt in Europe, especially from the Nazi Holocaust in World War Two. Fighting between Jews and Arabs and against the British government also got worse.
In 1947, the United Nations decided to divide Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, and make Jerusalem an international city. The Jewish leaders agreed to the plan, but the Arab side did not and it was never put into action. In 1948, Britain left and Jewish leaders made Israel a country because they couldn’t fix the issue. It was supposed to be a safe place for Jews running away from being hurt, and also a homeland for Jews. Fighting between Jewish and Arab groups had been getting worse for months. The day after Israel became a country, five Arab countries attacked.
