Speaking Thursday morning on the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre, Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon declared in a statement that no terrorist deserves a UN badge, a UN salary, or a UN cover story. The remarks were distributed by his office.
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, issued a statement Thursday morning marking 1,000 days since the October 7, 2023 Hamas-led massacre, asserting that no terrorist should receive recognition or legitimacy through UN institutions. The statement was distributed by his office and reported by several Israeli outlets.
Danon's remarks follow a series of confrontations he has held at the Security Council in recent weeks. On Thursday he specifically referenced UNRWA — the UN agency for Palestinian refugees — whose staff Israel has repeatedly accused of involvement in the October 7 atrocities. As The Zioneer reported Thursday morning, Danon previously told the Security Council that UNRWA employees are 'terrorists, not aid workers.'
The 1,000-day milestone has been marked by nationwide ceremonies and protests across Israel, with activist Yosef Haddad's declaration 'We will not forget and we will not forgive' widely circulated. Israel's government and military have continued operations against Hamas in Gaza throughout the period, while the hostage crisis — with over 100 captives still held — remains unresolved.
Danon's statement did not disclose any specific policy action or new proposal beyond the rhetorical position.
