OFFICIAL STATEMENT

City of Buenos Aires, July 12, 2024.- The Office of the President informs that the HAMAS group has been declared by the Argentine State as an international terrorist organization.

HAMAS has claimed responsibility for the atrocities committed during the attack on Israel on October 7. These add to an extensive history of terrorist attacks in his name.

Furthermore, in recent years its link with the Islamic Republic of Iran has been revealed, whose leadership was found responsible for the attacks against the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires and against the AMIA by the Federal Court of Criminal Cassation on April 11. . These attacks cost the lives of more than 100 Argentine citizens.

President Javier Milei has an unwavering commitment to recognizing terrorists for what they are. It is the first time that there is political will to do so.

This Government has reiterated on multiple occasions its conviction that Argentina once again align itself with Western civilization, respectful of individual rights and its institutions. For this reason, it is inadmissible that those who attack against them are not declared what they are: terrorists.
