Singapore condemns Hamas’ terror attack on Israel, atrocities ‘cannot be justified by any rationale’: Shanmugam

Singapore’s Law and Home Affairs Minister K Shanmugam stated on Thursday( Oct 12) that the crimes committed in Hamas’ terror attack on Israel” may become justified by any principle either.” & nbsp,

It is possible to have extremely strong opinions about what is going on in the area, he said.

” Over the years, it is possible to regret how the Palestinians have been treated. It is possible to feel intense sympathy for the suffering of the Palestinians while vehemently denouncing the terrorist attacks that took place in Israel.

At least 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed when lots of militants from the militant group Hamas unexpectedly attacked Israel on October 7. & nbsp,

Israel has completely surrounded Gaza and has so far killed 1,200 people in a bomb strategy that has decimated whole neighborhoods.

The” Hamas” assault on Israel is a massive terrorist attack that targets and massacres residents. Children’s kidnapping and unwarranted murder are stunning and horrifying acts of cruelty, Mr. Shanmugam told reporters.

And this heinous crime must be denounced in unambiguous, clear terms.

He continued by saying that Singapore’s support for the two-state alternative is” well known” and has been frequently stated.

Singapore has recently expressed its hope that both the Israeli and Palestinian sides will discover ways to engage in strong negotiations based on a two-state solution, with them coexisting in peace and security.

Israel will respond to Hamas’ attack” with its full might ,” according to the minister, and there will be a” very severe” reaction.

He noted that different nations have also made this point and said that Israel’s response should be in accordance with international law and international rules for battle. & nbsp,
