Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon has called on the president of the UN Security Council to convene and condemn Hamas for the murder of six Israeli hostages.
Danon noted that Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, and Ori Danino suffered for almost 11 months, as did their families and loved ones, with no sign of life being communicated, nor access granted to the Red Cross.
"These innocent people were brutally executed just a few days ago by Hamas terrorists. Their vile and heinous murders have outraged Israel and its people and should equally shock the conscience of the world," Danon wrote. "As our nation mourns the loss of these six beautiful lives, I call upon the Security Council to urgently convene a briefing to condemn Hamas in the strongest possible terms and to address the dire situation of the 101 hostages still held in captivity in Gaza. Despite the passage of nearly 11 months since the massacre of over 1,200 Israelis on October 7, the council has yet to condemn Hamas nor act decisively for the hostages."
