“These are terrorist acts committed by a terrorist organization”, did she say. Asked about the legal qualification of Hamas attacks, and whether we can speak of crimes against humanity, the head of diplomacy replied: “We can consider that they are similar to such crimes”even if “the legal qualification of these crimes will be carried out when the time comes”.
