Landmark UK report on Hamas massacre exposes worst attack on Jews since Holocaust
A Holocaust survivor murdered at age 91 and a baby killed just 14 hours after birth are among the victims named in the U.K.’s October 7 Parliamentary Commission Report, the most detailed Western investigation to date into the Hamas-led attack on Israel.
The 318-page report, chaired by British historian and peer Lord Andrew Roberts, documents the deaths of 1,182 people in a 48-hour period and provides extensive evidence of atrocities committed against civilians.
The report describes the assault as «a meticulously planned operation designed not only to kill but to terrorize through extreme brutality, looting and humiliation.» It includes testimonies of group rapes of women and girls, some of whom were murdered, as well as evidence of sexual violence committed against corpses. It details the targeting of children, including infants shot in strollers or burned alive.

Roberts, one of Britain’s leading historians and a member of the House of Lords, said that meeting Mandy Damari, the mother of hostage Emily Damari, «reduced me to tears.» Speaking in an interview with Fox News Digital, Lord Roberts recalled visiting Kibbutz Kfar Aza and hearing from families of victims while the fate of their loved ones was still unknown.
«At that time, of course, she didn’t know whether her 27-year-old daughter, Emily, was going to be released or not, or whether she was going to die in Gaza,» he said. «And I have a 25-year-old daughter, and so it was brought home incredibly powerfully to me.»
Despite the graphic nature of the material, Roberts emphasized that the report was deliberately limited to verified facts. «We actually made the report much less than it could have been, because we insisted on only putting things in that could be double-checked,» he said. «If we had put in things that we truly believe happened but couldn’t prove happened, we kept them out.»

When asked what motivated him to take on the project, Roberts said, «The denialism that has already cropped up,» including attempts to downplay or question the events of October 7. «It’s quite ironic that as well as celebrating and indulging in their most sort of disgusting fantasies by wearing GoPro cameras, they also seek to deny that the whole thing ever happened,» he said of Hamas.
HAMAS’ OCT 7 MASSACRE HAS LEGAL SCHOLARS CREATING NEW WAR CRIME CATEGORY
«October 7 denial,» as the report refers to it, emerged almost immediately after the attacks and mirrors historical patterns of atrocity denial, despite the overwhelming evidence.
«I thought it was really important to get a big, thick, well-documented, irrefutable, fully footnoted document out there that will stand the test of time,» Roberts said.

The report includes accounts of mass looting, arson and mutilation. It states that terrorists used victims’ phones to send images to their families, booby-trapped corpses with grenades, and dragged bodies through Gaza. It confirms that «acts of sexual violence» occurred «across all sites» during the attack, and references forensic findings of partially or fully naked bodies.

Roberts said the attack was «not just spontaneous — it was a premeditated bloodlust.» He compared it to historical atrocities like the Rape of Nanjing in 1937. «Once Hamas got into a bloodlust, they were going out of their way to murder and kill absolutely anybody who came anywhere near them,» he said.
Despite the horrors, Roberts said the report also includes examples of heroism. For example, of Netta Epstein — a young man who «threw himself on a grenade to save his fiancée’s life» — Roberts said such acts «stand up with the great acts of heroism of any age.»

«We have the names in it of everybody who was killed … mostly with the circumstances of their deaths as well,» Roberts added: «Speaking as a historian, there are moments when one thinks of 9/11, or Pearl Harbor, various other attacks like this. They become part of history very quickly, but the actual individuals involved tend to get forgotten.»
Asked what role democracies should play in countering denialism, Roberts answered, «The first is properly to memorialize the victims,» he said. «The second … is to see this appalling act of barbarism for what it is, which is a complete denial of democracy, a blow struck deliberately against civilization, and … the most appalling act of racism.»

«Britain should be doing everything in its power to help Israel protect itself forever against such another attack,» Roberts clarified that he was expressing a personal view: «At the moment, it seems [the British government] is not doing that at all.»
In the report’s conclusion, Roberts and his colleagues wrote: «Our report will hopefully permit people to see such denials and justifications for what they really are: a perversion of and rejection of human decency. We owe it to the victims and their grieving families to set down the ghastly unvarnished truth about the sheer barbarism that Hamas and its terrorist allies unleashed on October 7, 2023.»

Zelensky confirmó que Estados Unidos restableció el suministro de armas a Ucrania
El presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelensky ha confirmado la reactivación del envío de ayuda militar estadounidense tras una semana de suspensión, según anunció en un discurso a la nación el viernes. El Departamento de Defensa de Estados Unidos había detenido el suministro de armas la semana anterior por una revisión interna sobre la asistencia que presta a otros países, lo que afectó directamente el flujo de armamento hacia Kiev.
Zelensky detalló que “el suministro se ha reanudado”, y subrayó que el Gobierno ucraniano continuará coordinando acciones con Washington a nivel militar, trabajando en particular con el enviado especial para Ucrania, Keith Kellogg. La entrega de material bélico a Ucrania se vio interrumpida, según fuentes estadounidenses, debido a preocupaciones sobre la reducción de las reservas militares propias de Estados Unidos, lo que llevó a suspender temporalmente el envío de misiles de defensa y proyectiles de artillería.
En marzo, la Casa Blanca informó la suspensión de la ayuda militar previamente asignada bajo el mandato de Joe Biden, tras una reunión entre el presidente estadounidense Donald Trump y Zelensky. Esta pausa se levantó una semana después, luego de que Ucrania mostrara disposición para dialogar sobre un posible acuerdo de alto el fuego con Moscú, aunque este no prosperó en ese momento.
A finales de abril, ambos gobiernos alcanzaron un acuerdo que concede a Estados Unidos acceso a reservas minerales ucranianas, especialmente de tierras raras, elementos estratégicos para las industrias tecnológicas y de defensa.
El Gobierno estadounidense ha modificado la logística de la entrega de armas a sus aliados: envía equipamiento militar a países miembros de la OTAN en Europa, los cuales posteriormente transfieren parte de este armamento a Ucrania frente a la escalada en los ataques rusos con drones y misiles.
Trump explicó que “las armas que salen van a la OTAN, y luego la OTAN va a entregar esas armas (a Ucrania), y la OTAN está pagando por esas armas”. El secretario de Estado, Marco Rubio, especificó que las armas estadounidenses disponibles entre los aliados europeos pueden llegar a Ucrania mucho más rápido que si se trasladaran directamente desde Norteamérica.
Rubio comunicó que “es mucho más rápido trasladar algo, por ejemplo, de Alemania a Ucrania, que pedirlo a una fábrica (estadounidense) y llevarlo allí”, destacando la urgencia en las entregas dado el aumento de los ataques rusos recientes. Ucrania ha solicitado específicamente sistemas de defensa aérea Patriot fabricados por Estados Unidos para protegerse de misiles balísticos y de crucero rusos. Alemania y Noruega han aceptado proporcionar al menos tres sistemas Patriot adicionales.
Allison Hart, portavoz de la OTAN, declaró que los aliados trabajan para garantizar que Ucrania disponga del apoyo necesario para defenderse, incluyendo “esfuerzos urgentes para adquirir suministros clave de Estados Unidos, como defensa aérea y municiones”. La OTAN, en sí misma, no gestiona armas ni realiza envíos directos, pero coordina la asistencia no letal y promueve la cooperación logística.
Por otro lado, el acuerdo firmado entre Washington y Kiev a finales de abril brinda a Estados Unidos acceso a las reservas de tierras raras de Ucrania, recursos cruciales para la producción de componentes electrónicos, baterías, paneles solares y sistemas militares avanzados. Esta operación se enmarca en una estrategia estadounidense para reducir la dependencia de China, que hasta ahora domina la producción y refinamiento de tierras raras a nivel global.
El secretario de Energía, Chris Wright, indicó que “China tiene una influencia masiva. Ellos controlan la cadena de suministro de elementos de tierras raras”. El Departamento de Defensa firmó recientemente la adquisición de una participación del 15% en la empresa MP Materials, que opera la segunda mina de tierras raras más grande del mundo en Mountain Pass, California, valorada en 400 millones de dólares.
MP Materials planea utilizar los fondos para expandir su capacidad de separación y procesamiento, así como la producción de imanes de tierras raras, componentes clave en tecnología avanzada civil y militar. El pacto con el Pentágono contempla también la construcción de una nueva planta y el compromiso de destinar inversiones multimillonarias y adquirir la producción resultante durante los próximos diez años.
La postura de Trump sobre el apoyo militar a Ucrania ha sido fluctuante durante los últimos tres años. Tras el reinicio de los suministros, funcionarios estadounidenses aseguraron que nuevos envíos de armas ya están en trayecto. El senador Lindsey Graham afirmó que “vender armas a Ucrania favorece los intereses de seguridad nacional de Estados Unidos y que Europa puede pagarlas”.
En paralelo, se han producido conversaciones diplomáticas entre Zelensky y Trump, incluyendo una llamada donde se discutieron temas de defensa aérea. Zelensky describió las charlas como “muy constructivas”. Mientras tanto, el Ejército ruso intensifica sus ataques contra Ucrania, lanzando más de 700 drones y misiles en una sola semana, según fuentes oficiales ucranianas.
