A special exhibit featuring the drawings of IDF Lieutenant Hadar Goldin opened on Wednesday in the United Nations.

The exhibit, entitled “The Final Peace,” will be on display at UN headquarters throughout this month’s General Assembly when world leaders convene in New York.

Hadar’s parents and twin brother Tzur attended the exhibit’s opening and met with Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon.

“Hadar was killed and kidnapped by despicable terrorists during a UN sponsored ceasefire,” explained Danon. “He was not only a brave solider, but a talented artist taken before his time. I will continue to work tirelessly for his return.”

Hadar’s mother, Leah, said that she “calls upon the UN and the international community to take responsibility and ensure that Hadar is returned to Israel for a proper burial.”

Ambassador Danon is working with representatives from various countries and UN officials to utilize the visit to the UN by the Goldin family for diplomatic meetings aimed at ensuring the return of the remains of Lieutenant Hadar Goldin and Staff Sargent Oron Shaul for proper burial in Israel.

Earlier this week, before they took off for the UN, the Goldins held a press conference in which they reiterated their call for the international community to assist in their effort to recover their son’s body for burial.

"The basic message is that Hadar was killed two hours after a ceasefire was declared. Hamas ambushed the Israelis while they were not shooting because they were under the ceasefire protocol," they said.

"We expect that the UN and United States, who brokered the ceasefire, to take responsibility for the return of Hadar and Oron for burial in their homeland."
