Israel at UN: Hamas Exploited International Aid and Turned Gaza into a War Machine
(Jerusalem Post) Joanie Margulies - Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan told the Security Council on Tuesday: "Eighteen years ago, Israel fully withdrew from Gaza in hopes to build trust with the Palestinians and chart a path towards a joint future. Instead, the Palestinians voted in the Hamas terror organization, and since then, under the UN's nose and its agencies, Hamas has exploited international aid and turned Gaza into the war machine that it is." He noted the terror tunnels that Hamas built with aid donations and Hamas' clearly stated genocidal goals against Israel and the Jewish people. "The world knew this. The UN knew this," he said. If there was a ceasefire before the IDF destroyed Hamas, it would regroup, rearm, and attack again. "Hamas seeks to annihilate Israel. If you support a position that leaves Hamas in power, you cannot pretend to wish for a solution to the conflict."
