A third of the Senate calls on UN ambassador to designate Hamas a terror group after Oct. 7 attacks
Fox News
A bipartisan pair of senators called on the U.S.'s ambassador to the United Nations to introduce a resolution to the U.N. Security Council recognizing Hamas as a terrorist group.
The senators praised Thomas-Greenfield's "unequivocal condemnation of Hamas’ terrorism" and her "support for Israel’s right to defend its people." But they said recent "events have demonstrated that Hamas’ actions, tactics, and stated goals are in many ways indistinguishable from Al Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations" that the U.N. has already sanctioned.

"Therefore, we write to urge you to bring a resolution to the UN Security Council recognizing and imposing sanctions on Hamas as a terrorist organization," the senators wrote.
