After the bodies of six murdered hostages were recovered by the IDF, UN Ambassador Danny Danon demands that the United Nations Security Council call an urgent meeting to condemn Hamas and “to address the dire situation of the 101 hostages still held in captivity in Gaza.”
In a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and Slovenian diplomat Samuel Zgobar, current Security Council president, Danon laments the fact that “the Council has yet to condemn Hamas nor act decisively for the hostages.”
Danon points out that Israel has accepted proposals for a hostage release deal, while Hamas continues to refuse US-backed formulas.
