In a statement on the UN Security Council vote, Israel’s envoy to the United Nations notes US President Donald Trump’s peace plan calls for disarming Hamas.
“Just as we are determined to bring all the hostages home, we will demonstrate the same determination in ensuring that Hamas is disarmed,” Ambassador Danny Danon says in a statement. “We will not stop or let up until Hamas no longer presents a threat to the State of Israel.”
