Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan slammed a senior official of the organisation over meeting Iran's Finance Minister citing the country's role in the 'massacre of Israeli women and children' as the war with Hamas claimed more lives. Taking to X, the UN Envoy in a sharply worded condemnation of the meeting said, "Don’t forget to wash the blood of Israeli babies off your hands after that handshake."

@Twennesland, don’t forget to wash the blood of Israeli babies off your hands after that handshake.

He added, "Today (!!!), senior UN official, Tor Wennesland not only met with the Iranian regime’s FM, but didn’t even bother condemning Iran for its role in the massacre of Israeli women and children. It’s no secret that Hamas terrorists are openly praising Iran for funding, arming, and training them."

The envoy further questioned the 'double standards' of the global body after another top official Martin Griffiths commented on the plight of Gaza without water, power and medicines, adding that it will lead to many more deaths.

Thousands of Israelis were murdered and maimed in the Hamas Nazi’s barbaric terror attack. And tens of thousands more will be massacred in the future if this savage terror group is not obliterated.

This post seemed to have triggered the envoy and he reacted by saying, "Have you been living under a rock? Your double standards truly know no bounds…" 

He asked, "Where was your outcry when Hamas funneled all UN funds to dig terror tunnels and manufacture rockets targeting Israeli civilians? When Hamas diverted every resource – water, energy, civilian infrastructure – from the Gazan population, to their terror capabilities?"

He urged the UN to call on Hamas to release hostages. He said, "If you, as the head of a humanitarian agency, truly want the suffering of all sides to end, start by calling on Hamas to release all hostages. This is the most urgent humanitarian crisis. And following the return of the hostages, Hamas should turn themselves in, as the designated terrorists that they are."

This comes as the war with Hamas escalated and the Israeli forces prepare to launch a ground assault. However, responding to a warning by US President Joe Biden on reoccupying Gaza, the UN envoy said Israel was not interested.
