During a recent interview with Sky News, UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Martin Griffiths declared the United Nations doesn’t consider Hamas a terrorist group.
“In terms of Israel’s plan to eliminate Hamas and have them never be a part of any future negotiations when it comes to Gaze — do you think that’s realistic?” the reporter asked Griffiths.
“I think it’s very difficult and as you say I’ve worked with many, many different terrorists and insurgent groups. Hamas is not a terrorist group for us, as you know, it’s a political movement,” Griffiths answered.
Israel Ambassador Gilad Erdan shared the clip on X.

The White House was forced to respond to the outrageous comment, condemning the UN, and reiterating the U.S. stance that Hamas is absolutely a terrorist organization.
“Hamas is a terrorist organization,” White House National Security Communications Adviser John Kirby insisted on Thursday, according to The Jerusalem Post.
