Nato Urges Hamas to Immediately Release All Captives in Israel

In a statement on Thursday, NATO Defense Ministers called on the Hamas movement to release all captives immediately. The alliance also recognized Israel’s right to defend itself “with proportionality.”

The statement expressed solidarity with Israel and emphasized its right to defend itself against unjustifiable acts of terror. Additionally, NATO called for Hamas to release all hostages promptly and ensure the utmost protection of civilians.

NATO further stressed that no nation or organization should exploit or escalate the situation.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant informed NATO defense ministers that the Hamas attack on October 7 involved thousands of fighters infiltrating Israel from the Gaza Strip.

In his address to the NATO defense ministers, Gallant denounced Hamas for initiating a war against innocent civilians, including children, women, and entire families. He revealed that thousands of terrorists had crossed the southern border of Israel, simultaneously launching numerous missile attacks.
