Al-Khater penned the late reporter an emotionally charged mourning statement, condemning the Zionist occupation and its atrocities against Palestinians.

English translation:

“Oh God, Hamza, what a heartache  How can I console your father? How do I console your brothers? What do I tell them now? We were preparing to see you.. We promised you that  Screw the brutal occupation machine, and screw everyone who contributed and agreed. To the gardens of bliss, you heroic martyr… To the gardens of bliss, you devout son to your father… To the gardens of bliss, you journalist loyal to the word of truth… May God accept you and may your blood continue to haunt your killers until the Day of Judgment.”
