Foreign Minister Yair Lapid responded this morning (Thursday) to the decision of the Australian government, which outlawed the Hamas organization, in all its arms.
In his words, Lapid: “I congratulate Australia on the important decision to declare Hamas in all its arms a terrorist organization. The announcement will make membership and / or aiding Hamas a criminal offense in Australia. In doing so, Australia joins the United States, Britain, the European Union and other countries that have recognized Hamas in all its arms as a terrorist organization. This morning, I congratulated the Australian Ambassador to Israel on the decision. “
“The State Department is leading, along with other partners, an international effort to harm terrorist organizations and the Australian Declaration is a significant step in this effort. I thank the embassy staff in Australia and the Strategic and Asian Division and the Pacific and Foreign Ministry staff for the achievement today that joins Australia’s declaration of Hezbollah and Britain’s of Hamas in November 2021. ” Added the Foreign Minister.
