Israel again attacked the United Nations (UN) at its own headquarters in New York this Friday, after the General Assembly approved a non-binding resolution calling for an “immediate, lasting and sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza.
After the vote, with 120 votes in favor of the resolution proposed by Jordan, the Israeli ambassador, Gilad Erdan – who on Tuesday called for the resignation of the UN Secretary General, António Guterres – once again disqualified the UN, an institution that , according to him, “no longer has the slightest legitimacy or relevance.”
In a very angry tone, Erdan stated that “today is a black day for the UN and for humanity” because “the majority of the international community has shown that it prefers to defend the Nazi terrorists of Hamas rather than the State of Israel, which complies with the laws to defend civilians.”
The resolution does not have any binding power, but has a high symbolic value, which is why Erdan expressed his indignation at a resolution that he considered “ridiculous” and “terrible” and whose objective, he said, is “to make Israel stop defending itself.” same “.
Even on the day that the Gaza Strip was left without Internet and telephone services, Erdan stated that “Israel is closely following the situation in Gaza” and said he knew “that there is no humanitarian crisis according to international law,” in contradiction with UN Reports.
The ambassador also accused the international community of accepting all of Hamas’ versions of what is happening in Gaza: “And they continue to repeat their lies. Aren’t you ashamed?” he asked the diplomatic corps present at the UN General Assembly. . . .
