Leading Jewish Civil Rights Organization's
Founder Demands Biden Administration Leverage All Resources to
Bring Justice to Terrorist Organization Leadership
NEW
YORK, Nov. 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Brooke Goldstein, Executive Director and Founder
of The Lawfare Project, issued the following statement calling for
the extradition of Hamas leaders from Qatar to the United
States:
We call upon the U.S. government to pursue
criminal charges against the entire leadership of Hamas
"The Lawfare Project urgently calls upon the Biden
Administration to demand the immediate extradition of Hamas leaders
currently sheltered in Qatar to
stand trial on American soil. Hamas, designated as a Foreign
Terrorist Organization by the U.S. Department of State, has
orchestrated barbaric acts of terrorism resulting in the tragic
loss of countless innocent lives, including those of American
citizens.
Qatar's harboring of Hamas
leadership undermines international efforts to combat terrorism and
fuels instability throughout the Middle
East. This blatant violation of international norms is a
grievous affront to the pursuit of justice for victims of terrorism
worldwide and cannot be tolerated. Additionally, it is difficult to
justify maintaining Qatar's status
as a major non-NATO ally if it continues to host individuals
affiliated with designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations on its
soil, especially when Hamas continues to illegally hold American
citizens captive.
We call upon the U.S. government to pursue criminal charges
against the entire leadership of Hamas in connection with the
terrorist organization's attacks on, and kidnapping and murder of,
American citizens. We further call upon the U.S. government to
leverage all diplomatic and legal avenues to compel Qatar to surrender these individuals, as well
as Hamas leaders already under indictment, without delay. Bringing
Hamas leaders to justice in the United
States will send an unequivocal message that the
international community will not tolerate the sheltering of
terrorists and that those who perpetrate such atrocities will be
held fully accountable.
The Lawfare Project remains unwavering in its commitment to
uphold the rule of law and to ensure that the perpetrators of
terrorism face the full weight of justice. We stand resolutely with
all victims of Hamas's aggression and will continue advocating for
decisive measures that enhance global security and justice."
