Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Lior Haiat, castigated the Honduran government for its decision to recall its ambassador in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday.
"The Honduran government's decision to recall their ambassador for consultation ignores Israel's right to defend itself against the terrorist organization Hamas, which is worse than ISIS," Haiat wrote. "Hamas terrorists have killed more than 1,400 people and kidnapped 240 [others] including children, infants, women, and the elderly, and are using them as human shields. Israel is fighting against the Hamas terrorists until their complete elimination in the Gaza Strip. We expect the government of Honduras to condemn Hamas, support Israel's right to self-defense, and refrain from making decisions that lend support to Hamas terrorism."
