Argentina has listed the Palestinian independence armed group Hamas as a “terrorist organization”. All financial assets of the group have also been ordered to be frozen. The Washington Post reported this information in a report on Saturday.
It is seen as a big symbolic step for the country’s far-right president, Javier Maile. Because he wants to build a closer relationship with the US and Israel in recent times.
According to a statement from the office of the President of Argentina, Hamas has been listed as a terrorist organization in view of the attacks carried out by Hamas fighters on the illegal settlements of the occupying Israel on October 7 of last year.
In her first state visit as president last February, Miley visited Jerusalem to show support for the Israeli government. At the time, he promised to open an Israeli embassy, which was praised by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, the Palestinians strongly criticized this.
President Milley was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. But he said he has an affinity for Judaism. He compared the attacks carried out by Hamas in Israel last year to the ‘Jewish genocide’ of Hitler’s time. In addition, the right-wing president has called the activities of Hamas as ‘Nazism of the 21st century’.
