Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie was one of the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Intelligence and Security members shown harrowing footage of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel.
“We thought it was a special obligation on us to watch it, it is important that we understand the true character of a listed terror organisation,” Mr Hastie told Sky News host Caleb Bond.
“I’ve got to say it was horrific, brutal, it was 43 minutes, on it there were 183 murders which is less than ten per cent of the Israelis who were murdered that day by Hamas.
“Can I say having seen it, evil truly did walk the earth on October 7th in Israel.”
