Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Prof. Gabriela Shalev has filed a harsh complaint with United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon over Arab terrorist rocket and mortar attacks on Israel. She told the world body that Hamas is responsible for the escalation in violence and that the U.N. guarantees Israel its right to defend itself.

 

Her complaint is part of a new initiative by the Foreign Minister to try diplomatic retaliation to convince the international community that Israel is not to blame for the violence.
