Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon delivered a sharp rebuke of the UN for its failure to address the recent killing of humanitarian workers in Gaza by Hamas, while the General Assembly instead focused on a resolution urging a ceasefire. Speaking to the press outside the UN chamber, Danon expressed outrage at the body’s priorities.
“Last night, Hamas murdered at least five Palestinian aid workers in Gaza. They ambushed a bus clearly marked and carrying over two dozen humanitarian staff from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Several others were injured, some may have been taken hostage,” Danon stated, calling attention to the brutal assault.
