Israeli envoy hits out at UN chief for criticizing Israel over strike on Gaza school

Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations hits out at UN chief Antonio Guterres for denouncing an Israeli strike targeting Hamas operatives at a school-turned-shelter in Gaza, which the latter said killed six staffers from UNRWA.

“What is ‘unacceptable,’ [Guterres], is the fact you refuse to recognize reality and continue to distort it,” Danny Danon writes on Twitter. “It is unconscionable that the UN continues to condemn Israel in its just war against terrorists, while Hamas continues to use women and children as human shields.”

“I suggest you carefully investigate who these terrorists were, what they were doing in the past and what atrocities they were committing when they were eliminated before making statements,” Danon adds, without directly addressing the issue of the UNRWA staffers.
