United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has notified Israel’s Defence Attache in the United States, Major General Hidai Zilberman, of his decision to add Israel to the blacklist of countries and organisations harming children in conflict zones.
A report by the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed that despite extensive efforts by Israel to persuade Guterres to avoid this move, Tel Aviv will be listed in the report distributed to UN Security Council members next week, with a discussion scheduled for 26 June.
The report is based on data from UN organisations and field sources. Being blacklisted could significantly damage Israel’s reputation, as the report will be cited across various UN bodies, including the General Assembly, Security Council, International Court of Justice (ICJ) and International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague.
The blacklist also includes Afghanistan, Congo, Mali, Myanmar, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and groups such as Al-Qaeda, Daesh, Al-Shabaab and Boko Haram. The upcoming report will refer to Israeli security forces without explicitly naming Israel or its military.
The New York Times quoted Bibi on this:
Who’s delusional… 🤨 Most Moral Army… Uh huh. Kill those women and children. Moral my ass.
It’s not antisemitic for criticizing Bibi. Especially that he’s acting like an asshole dictator.
Only anti-semite would acuse Bibi of lying.
Just ask the Israeli attorney general who, in 2019, indicted him on bribery and fraud charges.
And Israel obviously has the most moral military in the world. Just ask their minister of national security: convicted criminal Itamar Ben-Gvir. Specifically, he has been convicted of supporting a terrorist organization. He also never served in the IDF, because the IDF thought he was too extreme.
Also a serial traffic offender. Not really that important but quite ironic as he is responsible for the police.
Not just supporting terrorist organisations.
Ben Gvir is a convicted terorrist.
His army is very moral, as long as you view it morally positive to exterminate the “right” people.
Sounds like a Trump quote
