Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said, "Hamas raped, kidnapped, tortured, & murdered," Israeli women, noting that 13 Israeli women remain captive and calling for the "immediate release of all hostages." Carr made his statement in a November 25 post on X.
"Hamas raped, kidnapped, tortured, & murdered Israeli women & girls," said General Chris Carr. "More than one year later, 13 Israeli women are still in captivity. There is no room to placate these forces of evil. We proudly stand with Israel & repeat our calls for the immediate release of all hostages."
According to Carr, his statement was in response to a post by Israel in Atlanta on X. The post reported that 13 Israeli women had been held hostage by Hamas in Gaza for over a year and marked the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women. It emphasized the need for "safety," "protection," and "justice" for women.

Carr has filed an amicus brief supporting a lawsuit under the Anti-Terrorism Act by survivors and families of victims of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack. The lawsuit seeks to hold American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP) accountable for allegedly providing material support to Hamas. Carr, along with 21 other attorneys general, argues against dismissing the case before discovery. He emphasizes the importance of the Anti-Terrorism Act in allowing victims to seek damages from those who support terrorism.
Appointed as Georgia's attorney general by then-Governor Nathan Deal in 2016 and re-elected in November 2022, Carr has focused on addressing issues such as human trafficking, gang activity, and opioid misuse. His initiatives include establishing the state's first Human Trafficking Prosecution Unit and Gang Prosecution Unit. Prior to his current role, he served as commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development. During this time, Georgia was recognized as the top state for business with significant investment and job creation.
