A senior Hamas official has claimed that the attack carried out on October7, 2023, in Israel created a “golden moment" for the Palestinian cause.
“You know what is the benefit of October 7th now? …If you look to the (United Nations) General Assembly yesterday, when about 194 people opened their eyes and looked to the atrocity, to brutality of Israel and all of them, they condemned Israel. We waited for this moment for 77 years," said Ghazi Hamad in an interview two weeks after surviving an Israeli air strike on a Hamas compound in Doha.
The Hamas militants had killed 1,200 people in Israel on October 7 and took more than 250 as hostages.
“I think this is a golden moment for the world to change the history," he said while being unapologetic about deaths of thousands of Palestinians since
