Antonio Guterres said that even though Hamas attacked Israel on 7 October, this doesn’t excuse Israel from breaking humanitarian laws itself.
He says that the people in Gaza are being pushed around and can’t find the things they need to stay alive. “But in Gaza, there’s no safe place,” he says.
Guterres says that families in Gaza have lost everything and are sleeping on hard floors. He also says that there isn’t enough food and many people are hungry.
He thinks that he strongly disapproves of Hamas’ attacks on 7 October and wants the Israeli hostages taken by Hamas to be released right away.
“He says that even though Hamas has been very violent, it is not right to punish all the Palestinian people for it. “
