UN condemns Israel's ‘shocking and brutal massacre’ of at least 90 Palestinians in Gaza
ISRAEL received condemnation from the United Nations and key players in the Middle East today after its forces carried out a “shocking and brutal massacre” that killed at least 90 Palestinians and wounded 300 in Gaza.
Hamas hit out at Saturday’s attack on civilians but said that it was still determined to press ahead with ceasefire talks.
Spokesperson Jihad Taha said that “there is no doubt that the horrific massacres will impact any efforts in the negotiations,” but he added that “efforts and endeavours of the mediators remain ongoing.”
