Israeli Foreign Minister to UN Security Council: Why Has the UN Never Condemned Hamas for Its Brutal Crimes?
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Foreign Minister Israel Katz - Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz told the UN Security Council on Monday: I have come here to protest, as loudly as I possibly can, against the crimes against humanity committed by Hamas murderers, carried out with the clear approval of their religious leaders to terrorize Israeli society. These murderers were so proud of abusing and raping our poor victims that they took pictures and broadcasted their terrible deeds live. The United Nations has been silent regarding the actions of Hamas for too long. Over the past five months, since October 7, the United Nations has convened 41 times and has neither condemned nor denounced the brutal crimes of Hamas. Hamas is the sole entity responsible for the crimes committed against humanity. Hamas killers breached the borders and attacked innocent Israelis who were peacefully in their homes and beds in kibbutzim, villages and cities. Young people, boys and girls, came from all over the world to participate in the Nova Festival, a festival of peace and happiness. Hundreds of them were surrounded, attacked from all sides and brutally slaughtered. According to the UN report, this was not an act of war. These acts were the highest level of crimes against humanity. Hamas' crimes are even more severe than the acts of terror perpetrated by al-Qaeda, ISIS, and other terrorist organizations that have been sanctioned by the United Nations. Do not turn your head away from the facts: Hamas must be declared a terrorist organization and face the harshest sanctions. I demand that the UN Security Council exert as much pressure as possible on the Hamas organization to immediately and unconditionally release all the abductees, who today, as we speak, are being abused and assaulted, and are in great danger.
