The Malta-drafted UN Security Council resolution on the situation in the Gaza Strip is disconnected from reality and meaningless, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the UN Security Council passed a resolution calling for “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip” and the unconditional release of captives held by Hamas.
“The UN Security Council’s resolution is disconnected from reality and is meaningless. Regardless of what the Council decides, Israel will continue acting according to int’l law while the Hamas terrorists will not even read the resolution at all, let alone abide by it. It is unfortunate that the Council continues to ignore, not condemn, or even mention the massacre that Hamas carried out on October 7, which led to the war in Gaza. It is truly shameful!” Erdan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The ambassador added that the Hamas movement’s strategy is to deliberately deteriorate the humanitarian situation in Gaza to push the United Nations into stopping Israel.
“It will not happen. Israel will continue to act until Hamas is destroyed and the hostages are returned,” the diplomat said. SPUTNIK
