Russia has sided with enemies of the “free world” that seek global instability and have weaponized the UN against Israel, the Jewish state’s permanent representative to the organization has claimed. Moscow has dismissed Gilad Erdan’s accusations as “delirium.”
The senior diplomat levelled multiple accusations at Moscow in a speech to the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday, the two-year anniversary of open Russian-Ukrainian hostilities. Erdan effectively equated Russia with Hamas, and criticized Moscow for having contacts with the Palestinian militant group.
”Both of our countries – Ukraine and Israel – are fighting a battle for our survival. We are now living in an era during which forces of instability act with impunity, international law be damned, morality be damned, and peace and security be damned!” he proclaimed.
Israel’s military campaign in Gaza was launched in retaliation to the deadly Hamas incursion last October. It has been globally criticized for causing disproportionate harm to civilians. The UN’s International Criminal Court ruled last month that Israeli forces were “plausibly” committing genocide against Palestinians, having reviewed evidence submitted by South Africa. A month later, Israel is defying the court’s order to change its policies, Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International said on Monday.
