On Monday’s 700 Club, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon slammed those declarations, calling them a reward to Hamas for their murderous attack on Oct. 7th, 2023.
“It’s shameful,” Danon remarked. “They are rewarding terrorism. We know that it’s an empty declaration. Nothing good will come from those declarations. and they are detached from reality. You know, we still have 48 hostages in captivity. Hamas is still in control of parts of Gaza, and instead of supporting Israel, the only force who is actually fighting evil on the ground, fighting Hamas, (they are) condemning Israel and trying to reward terrorism.”
Danon indicated that Israel’s government will decide which counter-measures to take after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with President Donald Trump next week and then returns to Israel.
France also issued a so-called “New York Declaration,” calling for the Palestinian Authority to lead Gaza after the war and for an invitation for international troops and a U.N. mission to deploy in the Gaza Strip.
