Hamas Criticizes UN Secretary-General Over Statement Marking One Year Since October 7

On October 7, the Hamas movement criticized United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres over his statement marking one year since the attack carried out by the group on Israel, according to information from Hamas.

According to the source, Hamas said the UN chief's statement did not accurately reflect the nature of the events and expressed its displeasure with Guterres' wording. Hamas reiterated its position on the October 7 attack and criticized the UN Secretary-General's stance in the statement.

There was no immediate official response from the UN Secretary-General's Office to the criticism. The incident comes as the situation in the Gaza Strip and the wider region remains tense one year after the October 7 attack.
