.@IsraeliPM:
"Israel didn’t initiate this conflict. We were attacked in an unprovoked manner by the Hamas terrorist org that fired 4,000 rockets into our capital & into our cities. No country will sit aside when it’s attacked in such a criminal fashion. Israel is no different."
This is the Foreign Minister of the country who called a HRC Special Session next week targeting Israel. What else can we expect from a country whose leaders are openly antisemtic?
OMG, this is a must-see: Discussing Israel's actions in Gaza, Pakistani FM said Israel has "deep pockets" and "they control media," prompting an impressive pushback from CNN's @biannagolodryga 👇
WATCH: Gaza terrorists targeting humanitarian aid into Gaza yesterday.
Hamas bombed the Kerem Shalom crossing twice, killing 2 civilians and injuring 10, all in order to prevent food and medical supplies from entering Gaza.

On Tuesday (18) and Wednesday (19), Hamas has prevented international humanitarian assistance from reaching those who need it in #Gaza, by firing mortars at the shipments.
These actions are further proof of Hamas’ complete disregard for the life & welfare of Palestinians.

In the UNSC Open Debate (May 16), #UN Special Coordinator @TWennesland stated that Hamas' indiscriminate launching of rockets from highly populated civilian neighborhoods into civilian population centers in Israel violates international humanitarian law.

The full responsibility for this escalation and for those harmed on both sides falls entirely on Hamas and the other terrorist organizations operating in #Gaza.

#UNGA convenes today to discuss the situation in the M.E, BUT another UN meeting won't contribute to de-escalation & is counterproductive.
However it's an opportunity for @UN members to condemn Hamas indiscriminate rocket fire & acknowledge Israel's right to defend its citizens.
If UN Member States really want today's #UNGA meeting to be somehow productive and reflecting the reality ground, here's a simple thing to do:
‼️Condemn Hamas indiscriminate rocket fire & acknowledge Israel's right to defend its citizens.
Hamas has situated its terrorist infrastructure (including launch bases & weapons arsenals), at the heart of #Gaza's civilian population centers, including schools & UN structures.
In doing so, Hamas is using the Palestinian civilian population as human shields.
Over the last 15 years, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have been held hostage by Hamas, used as human shields by a terrorist organization and had their humanitarian aid, meant to improve their lives, spent on building terror tunnels and buying rockets.
This is unacceptable.

The convening of yet another Special Session by the Human Rights Council targeting Israel is testament to the clear anti-Israeli agenda of this body. 1/3

The sponsors of this session are only rewarding the actions of Hamas, a terrorist organization, that has indiscriminately launched over 4000 rockets at Israeli civilians, using the people of Gaza as human shields. 2/3
