Israeli Embassy Screens Oct. 7 Footage to US Lawmakers, Foreign Dignitaries

Jerusalem, 8 November, 2023 (TPS) — The Israeli embassy in Washington screened raw footage of Hamas atrocities from Oct. 7 to more than 30 U.S. lawmakers and foreign dignitaries on Tuesday night, on the one-month anniversary of the massacre.

The video depicts harrowing scenes of violence and murder, including the harm done to children, women, and the elderly. The footage came from GoPro cameras worn by Hamas terrorists that day.

“This was one of the worst terror attacks in modern history and the single deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust,” Israeli Ambassador Michael Herzog wrote on X, formerly called Twitter. “Every nation and human being must draw a line between those who uphold the values of humanity and those who desecrate them, and sound a clear moral voice.”

He added, “Israel has the right and the duty to defend itself and remove the Hamas threat while fighting for the unconditional release of each and every hostage. We will not rest until we bring them back home.”

The event is part of an Israeli initiative to show the video to lawmakers worldwide and influential media figures.

The footage has been screened to officials in Washington, Berlin, London, and Tokyo, among others.

Some 1,400 people have been murdered in Israel since Oct. 7. Hamas is believed to be holding at least 239 people hostage in Gaza.
