Israel: UN Secretary General Emboldens Palestinian Terror

(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - Israel's Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan told the UN Security Council on Thursday that Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' remarks regarding the IDF operation in Jenin were a "disgrace" that "emboldened Palestinian violence against Jews." "Throughout this tactical operation [in Jenin], 12 Palestinian terrorists were killed," two command centers were uncovered, two shafts of attack tunnels were closed, five explosive-making labs were found and hundreds of IEDs and weapons were discovered, including in mosques, while no civilians were killed. "Imagine my shock when, rather than commending Israel for uprooting terrorists with surgical precision, the Secretary-General condemned only Israel...for defending itself." Moreover, "the Secretary-General and UN bodies repeated brazen Palestinian lies about Israel preventing access of humanitarian and essential care," even though Israel maintained a "humanitarian corridor" throughout the operation. As a sign of the operation's success, PA President Mahmoud Abbas was able to safely visit the city for the first time in 11 years.
