Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan says he will hold a screening of the grisly footage gathered on October 7 for UN envoys at the United Nations in New York next week.

The event is slated to take place on Monday, November 20 and Erdan says he has invited envoys from around the world as well as UN officials to attend the screening.

“The time has come for the distorted UN, which makes immoral equivalencies between Israel and Hamas, to see with its own eyes what kind of barbaric murders it is worried about and maybe understand how much it has betrayed its original mission,” says Erdan in a statement.

In keeping with regulations for other such screenings of the footage, attendees will not be allowed to bring in any phones or recording devices in order to respect the families of the victims.
