Senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk expressed regret for backing the October 7, 2023, invasion and onslaught in southern Israel, stating that he would not have supported it if he had known the consequences for the Gaza Strip. The attack led to a subsequent war in Gaza, causing significant devastation and casualties. Abu Marzouk's statement of regret contradicts previous statements by Hamas officials, who had declared the attack a victory. In the interview, Abu Marzouk also expressed openness to discussing the potential disarmament of the terror group in Gaza.
