Amid ongoing conflict between Israel and
Hamas terrorists, former has been facing calls for an immediate ceasefire in
Gaza from countries around the world. Reacting to this, Israeli Ambassador to
the United Nations today held up a card with Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar’s contact
number.
Ambassador Gilad Erdan, opposing the
resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly demanding an immediate ceasefire
in Gaza, asked member nations to Hamas chief if they wanted a lasting ceasefire
in Gaza.
The resolution was backed by 153 nations
including Bharat and was opposed by 10 countries including United States.
The Israeli envoy said lasting ceasefire
in Gaza is possible only if the Palestinian group surrenders.
“If you want a real ceasefire, call the
Hamas offices in Gaza and ask for Yahya Sinwar. Tell him that when Hamas lays
down its weapons, turns itself in and returns all the hostages, then there will
be a real ceasefire that will last forever,” the envoy said while holding up
the placard.
The card read “For a ceasefire dial:
+970-599373765 Ask For Yahya Sinwar”.
The Leader of Hamas, who has been called the architect of the October 7
attacks by Israeli officials, Yahya Sinwar is their top target for
assassination.
“During today’s meeting at the UN, I
told the ambassadors in the General Assembly that everyone in the room knows
what Moscow, Beijing, or Istanbul would do if they were in Israel’s shoes.
Hamas committed terrible crimes and those who support a ceasefire allow Hamas
to continue to survive and commit more atrocities,” he said in a post on X.
