The Israeli ambassador to the United Nations claimed during an emergency Security Council meeting on Sunday that the recent attacks by Hamas had been premeditated in order to improve its political standing, as he called on the U.N. body to “unequivocally” condemn the terrorist group for firing rockets at Israeli civilians.
The latest wave of violence was “premeditated by Hamas in order to gain political power” at the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) expense, Israel’s Ambassador to the U.N. Gilad Erdan told the 15-member council in a virtual session to discuss the worst outbreak of Israeli-Palestinian violence in years.
