Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, addressed the General Assembly on the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 massacre, sharply criticizing UNRWA. 'No terrorist deserves a UN badge, a UN salary, or a UN cover story,' Danon said, according to Israeli media. 'If we want to win the war on terror, we must stand together against it and not grant it immunity.'
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon addressed the General Assembly on Thursday morning on the 1,000th day since the October 7, 2023 massacre, delivering a sharp critique of UNRWA. 'No terrorist deserves a UN badge, a UN salary, or a UN cover story,' Danon said, according to Israeli media. 'If we want to win the war on terror, we must stand together against it and not grant it immunity.'
The speech continues Danon's pattern of confrontations with UN bodies and officials over the treatment of Israel. As The Zioneer has reported, Danon previously clashed with UN officials over sexual violence allegations, called for the resignation of the UN special representative on sexual violence, and accused the UN children's representative of antisemitism. The 1,000-day mark since the Hamas-led attack has been a recurring reference point in Israeli diplomatic messaging. The ambassador's remarks did not introduce new policy or specific calls for action beyond the rhetorical condemnation of UNRWA.
