Time to obliterate Hamas terror infrastructure to completely: Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations

WATCH | New York, USA: Gilad Erdan, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations says, “Economic incentives cannot change genocidal ideologies. It did not work with ISIS, Al-Qaeda and it doesn’t work with Hamas. Now is the time to obliterate Hamas terror infrastructure to completely erase it so that such horrors are never committed again. International community must give Israel its full support. Israel may be under attack today, but this is not only a war against or on Israel. This is a war on the free world. Israel is at the forefront of the war on terror, and if we do not succeed, the whole world will pay the price. Hamas’s war crimes must be unequivocally condemned. This unimaginable atrocity must be condemned. Israel must be given steadfast support to defend itself, to defend the free world. Israel will not accept any false immoral comparisons between a terror group that targets innocent and the democratic state of Israel, this is not the comparison that the UN or the Security Council can do. Israel will exact a heavy price on Hamas so that what we witnessed will never repeat itself. We are resilient people, and we have faced hardships in the past. We have always overcome our challenges, and today will be no different. Israel will fight back and Israel will prevail.” “This is Israel’s 9/11 and Israel will do everything to bring our sons and daughters home… Today, many members of the international community are supporting Israel, but we know tomorrow that may not be the case. The United Nations has a very short memory when it comes to Israel, the terror that we endore quickly becomes a side note, but this time will not be the same. We will not let the world forget the atrocities our country suffered. Hamas is a genocidal Islamist terror organisation, it is no different than ISIS, Al-Qaeda. They do not want dialogue or conversation. They want one thing and one thing only, the annihilation of the Jewish state. They will not stop until they murder every single one of us…From now, nothing will be as it was…” “The past days have been devastating for each and every Israeli. Israel suffered an unprecedented attack and the number of casualties is catastrophic. Over the past two days following the Hamas’s attack on Israel, my country has suffered hundreds of fatalities. Hamas terrorists fired thousands of rockets into Israel…Hundreds of Hamas terrorists infiltrated Israel and gunned down innocent Israeli civilians in the street murdering anything that moved on the street. These terrorists broke into homes and shot people point blank as if they were stomping on insects…These are war crimes, blatant documented war crimes…”(Source: UN TV)
