.@UNhumanrights' call to prevent further casualties should be directed not at Israel, but at the Hamas terror org. It is Hamas, which deliberately sends its civilians to the fence with a call to cross the border, and uses them as human shields for the staging of terror attacks.
📷 Under the cover of the smoke screen created by #Hamas violent rioters, this Palestinian man is documented sabotaging the security infrastructure between Israel & #Gaza.
Not a very peaceful protester.
If the experts signed to the statement were sincere in their intention to bring down tensions and avoid more casualties, we would expect them to issue an urgent warning to Hamas to refrain from again using Gazan civilians as human shields for their terror activities agst Israel.

The statement issued by #UN Mandate Holders repeats Hamas’ claims that the riots were supposedly peaceful civilian demonstrations. It ignores the reality on the ground, inc. that #Gaza is under the control of Hamas terror organization.

The border fence between Israel and the Gaza Strip separates a sovereign state and a terrorist organization.

This morning at the @UN Human Rights Council in #Geneva, the United States boycotted a biased session focused only on #Israel. The continued existence of Agenda Item 7 should not be tolerated, and we were glad to see that others disengaged from the debate. #HRCreform
Welcome to #Israel, @WHO DG @DrTedros. 🇮🇱
We are looking forward to our continuous cooperation, both in Israel and in Geneva, to improve #Health4All around the globe. 🌍
Great discussion with #Israel’s Deputy Health Minister Litzman. Israel is taking steps towards #HealthForAll such as introducing a digital health system. We discussed WHO’s plans to set up a country office in Israel and how to work together to use health as a bridge to peace.
We have grown all too accustomed to hearing about the atrocities committed in #Syria. But we should not let this fact lessen the attention we give to these crimes or the international resolve to deal with their perpetrators.
