Foreign Minister Israel Katz says a decision to add Israel’s military to a global list of offenders who have committed violations against children “will have consequences for Israel’s relations with the UN.”
Israel and Hamas have been added to the United Nations’ so-called “list of shame,” which is attached to an annual report submitted by Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s office that documents rights violations against children in armed conflict.
This is the first time that Israel and Hamas have been included on this list, joining the ranks of Russia, the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, Somalia, Yemen and Syria.
The allegations against Israel mean that it is believed to be the first democratic country included on the list.
