Ambassador Gilad Erdan strongly addresses the UN Security Council, condemning Hamas' dangerous agenda targeting the Jewish community. He emphasizes that Hamas seeks destruction, not resolution through dialogue.

The star both he and his delegation wore on their chest was designed to visually link the terror group’s killing of 1,400 Jews, including entire families, in Southern Israel on October 7 with Nazi Germany in World War II. The Nazis forced European Jews to wear a yellow star on their clothing as part of a programme of persecution that culminated in the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered.

The United Nations, including the Security Council, has yet to condemn Hamas for the attack, a move which Erdan said is reminiscent of the global silence with regard to the Holocaust during World War II.

“Some of you have forgotten why this organization was established.We will wear this star until you wake up and condemn the atrocities of Hamas, From this day on, each time you look at me you will remember what staying silent in the face of evil means,” Erdan stated.
