Israel's Ambassador to UN Danny Danon referred at a Security Council meeting to the hunger strike of Palestinian terrorist prisoners.
The Palestinian representative said that "more than 1000 prisoners are hunger striking and we ask the international community to epress its solidarity with them and to ensure their rights which are being violated by Israel in contrast to the Geneva convention. The strike is being led by Palestinian leader Marwan Barghouti.
Danon responded sharply stating that 'Barghouti is a terrorist and convicted murderer who was found guilty of the murder of five Israelis and being at the head of an organization which performed tens of attacks against innocent civilians.
Danon presented a picture of Yoela Chen HyD (May G-d avenge her blood) and said:"this is Yoela Chen, a mother of two children, who was murdered by terrorists directed by Barghouti. Glorifying murderers like Barghouti distances peace and desecrates the memory of his innocent victims."
