Member of Israel's Knesset, and Israel's former Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon called on UN Secretary Antonio Guterres to retract the statement he made today at the United Nations Security Council or resign.
Ambassador Danon said: "The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres today said that the horrific crimes of the Hamas terrorists "did not take place in a vacuum". By saying this he is wrongfully legitimizing and justifying the gruesome massacre of men, women, children and babies, and the savage kidnapping of over 222 innocent babies, children and civilians who are still being held by Hamas. The UN Secretary General should be ashamed of himself. I call upon him to retract his abhorrent statement or step down now and resign from his position."
