Israel Calls on UN to Condemn Hamas War Crimes
(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman - Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan on Saturday called on the UN Security Council to immediately condemn Hamas. "It is now time for the international community including the Security Council to unequivocally condemn the appalling terror attacks carried out by Hamas and all terrorist organizations against the civilians of Israel." "Israel expects and demands the solidarity and support of all those in the international community who oppose this barbaric terrorism and the targeting of innocent men, women and children for slaughter. It will not tolerate moral equivalence between those defending against this terrorism and those perpetrating it. There can be no option other than zero tolerance for Hamas' war crimes and genocidal agenda." "The State of Israel will act in any way necessary to protect its citizens and sovereignty from the ongoing terrorist attacks originating from Gaza and carried out by Hamas and other terrorist organizations. We will not stand idly by as Israelis are attacked and killed."
