U.N. criticism: Israel's ambassador demands Security Council designate Hamas
Summary
Danny Denon criticized the U.N. Security Council for failing to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization and said Israel demands the council take that step.
During his prepared remarks, Ambassador Danny Denon criticized the U.N. Security Council for what he described as a failure to designate Hamas as a terrorist organization. "Hamas is the main obstacle to implementing the president 20 plan, and we demand that the council will finally designate Hamas as a terrorist organization," he said.
Denon said Gaza would be part of discussions both at the Security Council and at the bilateral Netanyahu-Trump meeting. He linked the diplomatic push for designation to Israel's operational plans and to the argument that a designated terrorist group is an obstacle to civilian rebuilding in Gaza.
