MK Yasser Hujairat from Ra'am issued a clarification following the uproar over remarks attributed to him in an interview on 'Meeting of Extremes' from 'Friday Cabinet' on i24NEWS. Hujairat emphasized that he did not claim Hamas is a charity organization, and that his words were partially and tendentiously edited. According to him, he sought to explain from an academic and historical perspective the development of Hamas, not to justify its actions. He condemned terrorism of all kinds, opposed Hamas's crimes, and supported President Trump's outline which includes disarming Hamas. Hujairat attacked Likud figures who exploited the interview for political smearing, noting that they had previously approached him for political support. The remarks were published on Facebook hours before the swearing-in of the 26th Knesset.
