FM Eli Cohen slams ‘despicable’ UN resolution urging ceasefire
Foreign Minister Eli Cohen decries a “despicable” resolution passed by the UN General Assembly that calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, amid the ongoing war sparked by the Hamas onslaught in southern Israel on October 7.
“Israel intends to eliminate Hamas just as the world dealt with the Nazis and ISIS,” Cohen says.
We reject outright the UN General Assembly despicable call for a ceasefire.
