At 6:30 a.m. on Saturday, October 7, Hamas, the Iran-backed terror group controlling Gaza, launched an unprovoked and vicious surprise attack on Israel. Using rockets, paragliders, boats, motorcycles and other vehicles, and whatever other means they could, terrorists infiltrated Israel with one goal—to murder and kidnap Israelis.

Over 1,200 Israelis have been killed, thousands are critically wounded, and more than 134 Israelis have been kidnapped. More than 13,500 rockets have been fired at Israeli towns and cities. Israeli families are huddled in bomb shelters.

Since the start of this unprovoked war, AJC has closely monitored the situation, doing all that we can to support Israel at this critical time. We continue to call on leaders across the globe to condemned these heinous terror attacks. Here are some of the the world leaders who have spoken out against this Hamas terror attack:
