Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon addressed the General Assembly on Thursday morning, marking 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre. In his speech, Danon launched a blistering attack on UNRWA, telling the body: 'No terrorist deserves a UN badge, a UN salary, or a UN cover story. If we want to win the war on terror, we must stand together against it and not grant it immunity.' The address comes amid an ongoing campaign by Israeli diplomats against the UN relief agency, which Israel has accused of employing Hamas operatives who participated in the October 7 attack. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Danon has clashed repeatedly with UN officials in recent weeks over the treatment of Israel at the world body. Separately, police were operating to clear protesters at the entrance to the Knesset in Jerusalem on the same day.
