UN Cancels Hamas Appearance at Human Rights Council
(JTA) The UN Monday canceled an appearance by Hamas official Ismail al-Ashqar at the Human Rights Council in Geneva following an official complaint by Israeli Ambassador Aharon Leshno-Yaar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu noted that al-Ashqar had condemned the U.S. for killing al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden, "and he represents an organization that indiscriminately targets children and grownups, and women and men. Innocents is their special favorite target."
