UN Includes Israeli Army In Blacklist Of Cases Of Child Violation

JAKARTA - United Nations (UN) Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added the Israeli military to the blacklist that had committed abuses against children.

Guterres spokesman Stephane Dujarric confirmed Israel had been told they were included in the list of violators who harm children in the UN Secretary-General's annual report on children in the armed conflict to be sent to UN DK next week, Dujarric said.

Palestinian Islamic Hamas and Jihad were also added to the list, according to diplomatic sources.

Dujarric explained that Israel's mission at the United Nations was summoned by the Chief of Staff of the Secretary General on Friday, June 7. "This was done to give warnings to these countries and avoid leakage," he said.

Israel's ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan, made a video recording of a phone call from the United Nations and leaked it partly to social media.

In the video, Erdan can be heard expressing his anger at the UN's decision by saying, IDF is the world's most moral soldier. What is included in today's black list is the Secretary-General of the United Nations, which encourages and encourages terrorism and acts out of hatred for Israel. Shame on him!

Dujarric said it was "surprisingly and unacceptable" when Erdan published the personal call, and said it was something he had never seen in 24 years of serving this organization.

Israel's entry into the list comes after eight months of war in Gaza, which killed more than 15,500 children, according to the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
