Part 5/10:
Core to Kelly’s perspective is his strong condemnation of Hamas, which he compared to the Nazi regime in terms of evil, describing it as an organization that propagates violence and seeks to undermine peace. He referenced recent statements by Sami Abu Zuri, Hamas’s overseas political head, who openly boasted about the martyrdom and growth of the population in Gaza, illustrating the organization's genocidal mindset.
Kelly emphasized that until Hamas disarms and releases hostages, recognition of Palestine should be withheld. The importance, he argued, is to confront and dismantle the terrorist organization and its ideology before any statehood recognition is considered legitimate or constructive.
