In the event, organised by the Kosovo-Israel Economic Oda, Israeli Ambassador to Kosovo Tamar Ziv said that after the end of World War II and Holocaust, the world said “will never again have the massacre of Jews”. But, according to her, on October 7th, when the Palestinian militants of Hamas attacked Israel, they subx2> brutally weighed” 1,400 persons, including foreign citizens.

The 7 October scenarios constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity”, she said through video connection, explaining that because of the war she was unable to participate physically in this event.

Representatives of embassies in Kosovo and accredited ambassadors, including US Ambassador Jeffrey Havenier, participated in the event.

Since Hamas attacked the south of Israel, the Israeli army has repeatedly bombed the Gaza Seat, and Israeli troops are also carrying out land attacks with the intent of destroying the militant group.

As a result of the fighting, over 10,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, the health authorities of this territory led by Hamas have said.

Ambassador Ziv said there were 287 foreign citizens among those killed in Israel.

And as for the hostages, 127 of them are strangers. “Among the kidnapped are 35 children ʹ ten of them under the age of 5 and there are babies several months”, Ziv said.

Contrary to international law, Hamas is denying 239 hostages their basic human rights, unable to visit the International Red Cross. Israel wants the International Red Cross to be allowed to visit the kidnapped and supply them with medicine and medical treatment, and we expect the international community to take measures to provide their security and work on their release”, the Israeli ambassador to Kosovo said.

So far, Hamas has freed four hostages, while one has been rescued from Israeli forces. The militant group has offered the release of all hostages in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel, but Israel has rejected that offer.

Israel has pledged to destroy Hamas' group and free the hostages.

The chairman of the Kosovo-Israel Economic Ode, Skender Hyseni, said the people of Kosovo are feeling it and know what it means best what happened in Israel.
