UNITED NATIONS — Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon accuses Hamas of returning an unidentified body instead of the body of the mother of two murdered boys, “as if it were a worthless shipment.”
“This is a new low, an evil and cruelty with no parallel,” he says in a statement.
“There are no words that can describe such an atrocity,” Danon says. “Hamas not only murdered Ariel and Kfir Bibas in cold blood – a 4-year-old boy and a 10-month-old baby – but continue to violate every basic moral value even after their death.”
Israel demands that the UN Security Council condemn “this heinous crime” and demands the immediate return of the mother, Shiri Bibas, to her family, he says.
Since Hamas’s October 7, 2023 invasion of southern Israel, the Security Council has refused to condemn the terrorist group.
