Israeli ambassador to the UN claims that the international organisation and its agencies have not gone far enough in denouncing Hamas's attack and the rise in anti-semitism.
Eilon Shahar also says she expected international organisations to call out growing anti-semitism and signs of Hamas operations in Gaza, including those Israel's military says are beneath Gaza's main hospital. / Photo: Reuters Archive
"I have to say, generally, the United Nations has let down the people of Israel," Israeli Ambassador Meirav Eilon Shahar told reporters in Geneva, saying that some heads of agencies had not condemned Hamas' October 7 attack. Eilon Shahar appeared to refer to comments by World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on social media platform X voicing concern about civilian deaths in Gaza the day after the attacks, the most deadly in Israel since the country was founded in 1948.
Her comments follow Israel's criticism of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres whom it accused of justifying Hamas' attacks on Israel. Guterres rejected Israel's accusation, calling them a misrepresentation of his remarks.
