Only way to fight Hamas is to make everyone involved pay, says Israeli MFA spokesperson

The spokesperson of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lior Haiat, calling Hamas a ‘terror organization’, said that the only way to fight the terror group is to make everyone ‘pay the price’, who are involved in the attack. He also repeated the allegation on Iran that Iran is the “main financer” of the terror organizations in the Middle East.

Speaking to ANI, Haiat said that, the only way to fight with the Hamas terror organization is to get each and every terrorist and have them pay the price including the ones who trained them, also that sent them and the one who financed that as well.

Furthermore, he said, “We know that Iran is the main financer of the terror organizations in the Middle East and they are also deeply involved in what happens in the Gaza Strip. There will be consequences for this attack for each and everyone responsible”.

He also highlighted that the Hamas attack will not affect India-Israel relations, acknowledging the hope that the relations will continue to flourish.

The spokesperson of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “I don’t think the war will have an impact on the relations between Israel and India. I do hope that the initiatives will continue to flourish. This is not just for Israel but the entire region. I do believe that the strong relations between Israel and India will continue and get even stronger,” Haiat said.

Death toll reaches 1300

In a shocking event on October 7, Hamas launched a ‘surprise attack’ on Israel, firing large numbers of rockets into the southern and central parts of Israel. According to Israeli local media, the death toll in Israel has jumped to above 1300 since Saturday’s attack. According to the Israeli government’s data, over 2400 people have been injured in the attack as well.

Lior Haiat thanked India and Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the support and said that Israel is receiving support and solidarity from many countries.

Furthermore, the Israeli spokesperson further said that Israel is working towards achieving and maintaining peace in the Middle East, adding that they won’t evacuate from Israel as it’s the only place the people have to live.
