In response to a New York Times report on Hamas sexual violence on October 7:

“We expressed at various occasions our readiness and welcomed any international inquiry mission to look into any allegations, contrary to the Israeli side who only spread their unproven lies without having any crucial evidence.

“The New York Times report also purposefully failed to mention the Israeli reports that said the Israeli army committed what can be described as crimes by bombing Israelis and Palestinian fighters and killing many of both.”Bassem Naim, “Response to the New York Times misleading report against the Palestinian resistance on Oct. 7,” Hamas Online Telegram Channel, December 31, 2023.
