Nikki Haley: When Will the UN Hold Accountable Hamas, Which Is Running Gaza into the Ground?
(U.S. State Department) U.S. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley told the UN General Assembly on Wednesday: "This resolution...is totally one-sided. It makes not one mention of Hamas, who routinely initiates violence in Gaza....It feeds a narrative to the desperate people of Gaza that their leaders are not responsible for their predicament....At what point will the UN actually hold accountable those who are in charge of Gaza and running it into the ground?" "It is Hamas and its allies that have fired over a hundred rockets into Israel in the past month, hoping to cause death to as many civilians and as much destruction as possible. It is Hamas that has used Palestinian civilians as human shields at the boundary fence, seeking to incite violence and overrun the border. It is Hamas that refuses to cooperate with the Palestinian Authority to unite in the pursuit of peace. It is Hamas that calls for the destruction of the State of Israel within any borders."
