Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, recounted on Galei Tzahal this morning the efforts he is investing to gain legitimacy in the eyes of the world for Israel's actions in Gaza.

"The world has to grasp the situation - the ridiculous situation in which Israeli citizens live, and the extent of Hamas' crimes," he said. "We're working around the clock to ensure that Israel continues to receive as much support as possible from other nations."
