‘Rid the world of Hamas’: Piers Morgan supports ‘Israel’s right to defend itself’

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says given the scale of Hamas’ attacks on October 7th Israel is “entitled to defend itself with force”.

Mr Morgan said he supports Israel’s “right to defend itself”.

“Hamas are not a force for good,” he said.

“If Israel’s purpose is to rid the world of Hamas after the atrocities of October 7th – how do they do that?

“Given that Hamas embeds itself in civilian areas in the way that it does everyone knows that in Gaza.

“What is a proportionate response … because I don’t know what a proportionate response to 1,300 murders is – when 260 young people at a music level … when they get slaughtered by people with machine guns I don’t know what the proportionate response is.”
