The UN Security Council convened urgently at Algeria's request to discuss the IDF’s strike on the Al-Taba’een school in Gaza. Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, confronted the Council with images of Hamas terrorists who were neutralized in the school.
He strongly criticized the Council, stating, “You convened for these terrorists who used a school as their terror base, but for the children of Majdal Shams, murdered by Hezbollah’s rocket fire, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you!”
Erdan presented visual evidence of the Hamas terrorists targeted in the Gaza strike, alongside images of Israeli children killed in Majdal Shams, and delivered a scathing critique of the Council’s priorities: “The Council convened today to discuss Hamas’ false claims. Shockingly, it seems that you have decided to dedicate your time to listen to the terrorists’ lies while no real concern has been shown when Israeli children were murdered recently by Hezbollah.”
Displaying a board with the faces of the terrorists neutralized in the strike, he emphasized, “These are terrorists eliminated in Gaza on Saturday. Terrorists, exploiting Al-Taba’een school as a base for their murderous objectives. These are the people you called an emergency session for!”
He then displayed a board with the faces of the children who were killed by a Hezbollah missile in Majdal Shams: “While those terrorists used a school as their terror base, these children will never see their school again. But for them, you couldn’t find the time for an urgent session! Shame on you!”
Erdan further condemned the Council’s disregard for the imminent threat of an Iranian attack against Israel, underscoring, “The most unbelievable thing is your inaction to condemn and stop the biggest danger and threat to the entire region: Iran.”
He concluded with a dire warning, “Right now, millions of Israelis are preparing for a direct Iranian attack, just as they did in April. Iran’s aggression threatens the entire region with war. Yet, you are here wasting time on falsehoods spread by the words of terrorists.”
