Israel: UN Human Rights Council Call for Arms Embargo on Israel Supports Hamas


(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs) Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to calls for an arms embargo on Israel by the Special Rapporteurs of the UN Human Rights Council. "Israel is defending itself against the terrorists of Hamas, a murderous terror organization that calls for Israel's destruction....Even in the face of the war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists, Israel has acted, and will continue to act, in accordance with international law....Calls for an arms embargo on Israel are actually calls of support for the Hamas terrorist organization." Foreign Minister Israel Katz said, "Since the Oct. 7 massacre, the UN has cooperated with Hamas terrorists and is trying to undermine Israel's right to defend itself and its citizens. Ignoring the war crimes, sexual crimes and crimes against humanity committed by Hamas terrorists constitutes a stain on the UN that cannot be erased."
