2023 Israel–Hamas war
Шаблон:Main In October 2023 while acting as Hamas's representative in Moscow Basem participated in a delegation led by senior Hamas member Moussa Abu Marzouk to Moscow.[4][5] In an interview with Sky News, following the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, Naim asserted that Hamas did not kill civilians, despite evidence to the contrary.[6][7] Likewise in an interview with 60 Minutes Australia, Naim repeated that Hamas fighters haven't committed any crimes.[8] In both cases, interviewers confronted Naim with evidence that hundreds of civilians had been killed in the October 7 attack.
In another interview with Sky News on 16 October, Naim reiterated that no Israeli civilians were killed and informed that the status of the 199 civilians held hostage remains uncertain. In a confrontational interview, he emphasized the difficulty of ascertaining their well-being due to the intense bombardment in Gaza. Naim further stated, "We have communicated to all intermediaries our willingness to release all civilian hostages once the aggression against our people ceases".[9]
