New Zealand Classifies Hamas as a Terrorist Entity

New Zealand has joined the list of Western nations that classify the entire Hamas movement as a terrorist entity. It considered that the attacks carried out by the Palestinian movement on Israel on October 7 eliminated any possibility of distinguishing between the political and military wings of the movement. The New Zealand government stated that the organization as a whole bears responsibility for those horrific terrorist attacks. This move effectively freezes the assets of the movement in New Zealand and prohibits any material support for it.
