Hamas military spokesperson Abu Obeida says Israel killed several other Israeli captives in its operation to free 4 captives in Nuseirat refugee camp. Hamas later says that 3 captives were killed, including a U.S. citizen. The PA calls for an emergency session of the UN Security Council to address the “bloody massacre” and says the U.S. “bears full responsibility” for allowing the Israeli onslaught to continue. U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken welcomes the Israeli operation to free the 4 captives without mentioning the mass Palestinian casualties, while National Security Advisor Nate Sullivan says he “commended the work of the Israeli security services that conducted this daring operation.” Axios reports that the U.S. assisted in the attack on Nuseirat. UK prime minister Rishi Sunak calls the operation a “huge relief” and “heartwarming.” EU high commissioner for foreign affairs Josep Borrell condemns the attack “in the strongest terms.” Norwegian deputy foreign minister Andreas Motzfeldt calls the massacre appalling. UN special rapporteur on the right to adequate housing Balakrishnan Rajagopal says “countries that celebrate the release of four Israeli hostages without saying a word about the hundreds of Palestinians killed and thousands held in arbitrary detention by Israel, have lost moral credibility for generations and do not deserve to be on any UN human rights body.” Jordan, Egypt, Colombia, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, the OIC, and the GCC condemn the attack.
