Israel to UN Security Council: Hold Hamas Responsible for Its Evil Crimes


(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar told the UN Security Council on Tuesday: "I am here today because our hostages are still there. Starved. Tortured by Hamas and Islamic Jihad in the dungeons of Gaza. On October 7th, Hamas invaded with no reason into Israel. It committed evil crimes like the Nazis and ISIS did....This past weekend, the whole world witnessed the cruel starvation of Evyatar David and Rom Braslavski. Tortured at the hands of Hamas and Islamic Jihad." "The world must put an end to the kidnapping of civilians. The international community must make it not worthwhile for the terrorists. Today it's Israel. Tomorrow it's you!...Do you know what Secretary-General Guterres tweeted after the horrible images of Evyatar and Rom were released? Not a word. Deafening silence. Yet we all see his endless and obsessive tweets against Israel." "What we are witnessing today is the rise of psychotic antisemitism around the world, inflamed by modern blood libels, like the darkest days in history. Jews are hunted around the world, simply because they are Jews....It's the only case that people are being hunted everywhere because of their nationality. Do you know of another nation fighting for its life and suffering around the world from hostility and violence?...80 years after the end of the Holocaust, antisemitism is having its golden age." "We call for the immediate and unconditional release of our hostages. We call on the UN Security Council to finally condemn Hamas for its evil crimes and to hold it responsible."
