Israel's UN Ambassador: Hamas Causes the Crisis and We Get the Blame
(Jerusalem Post) Israel's Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said in an interview published Wednesday that "Hamas causes the crisis, and we get the blame. We're not ignoring the suffering in Gaza - but the blame lies with Hamas, not Israel....People see the images, they hear the outcry - but they don't check the facts." "Look at the quantities of food entering [Gaza] through Kerem Shalom, through humanitarian convoys, through aid centers - there is a constant flow of food. But Hamas hijacks aid, disrupts distribution, and prevents civilians from accessing relief - and then blames Israel....We're not the problem, we're the target." "How can they have the audacity to talk about a ceasefire without demanding the release of those held in Hamas's terror tunnels? How can you claim to stand for international law while ignoring the hostages as they languish in conditions that defy human comprehension?" Danon described the UN's silence as a "moral collapse of the highest order."
