Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon asked the UN Security Council and the world body’s Secretary General Antonia Guterres to condemn Hamas. In a letter he sent to Guterres, Danon stressed that Israel had cooperated with the United Nations to relieve the situation in Gaza, yet the escalating situation proved that there were those who were pushing for another round of fighting. The Israeli ambassador further underscored that the population in Gaza was being used as a human shield and that Hamas should be condemned for so doing.
