After Gaza report, Israel’s UN envoy slams Hamas ‘exploitation of aid’

Israeli envoy to the UN Danny Danon says today’s UN report on the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip “proves without a doubt that the rule of Hamas terrorists over the past ten years has not only led to unending attacks on innocent Israelis, but has also brought nothing but pain and destruction to the residents of Gaza.”

In a statement, Danon slams Hamas’s “continued exploitation of humanitarian aid by this terrorist organization,” saying it “harms Palestinian civilians and sabotages the efforts of the international community. It is time for the UN to finally designate Hamas a terrorist organization and to demand that the Palestinian leadership abandon its support of incitement and terror.”
