Israel’s UN Ambassador to host event showcasing families of Israelis abducted by Hamas

The Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, and the Permanent Mission of Israel to the UN are hosting a unique event at the UN, showcasing families of Israelis who were abducted by Hamas terrorists.

The event is set to commence at 1:15 p.m. (local time in the US), just before the Security Council’s scheduled meeting. Ambassadors from Security Council member states, along with other ambassadors and senior diplomats, have received invitations to attend. Ambassador Erdan and the affected families will address the gathering, and the event will conclude with a rendition of Israel’s national anthem, HaTikva, performed by Noa Kirel.

Ambassador Erdan said, “The event is intended to convey a clear message to the Security Council: the only humanitarian situation the Council must discuss now is the humanitarian situation of our kidnapped citizens who are being held in horrific violation of international law. The Nazi organization Hamas is solely responsible for the situation in Gaza, and before any discussion of the situation in the Strip, the Security Council must back Israel’s right to crush Hamas’s terrorist infrastructure and demand that it release all the hostages.”

The event is scheduled to be held in the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Chamber. Simultaneously, large images of Israeli hostages, spanning from infants to elderly individuals, were projected onto the side of the UN headquarters in New York, calling for the release of the captives in Gaza.

As the Israel-Hamas conflict reached its seventh day, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) issued an urgent call for the immediate evacuation of Gaza. The IDF, in a statement, stressed the need for all Gaza City civilians to relocate southward for their own safety and protection, specifically to the area south of the Wadi Gaza.

Earlier in the day, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Conricus, the spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces, reported that the death toll resulting from Hamas terror attacks on Israel had risen to 1,300, with more than 3,000 individuals sustaining injuries.
