Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, criticized the U.N.'s call to the IDF to cancel the directive to the residents of Gaza to evacuate from north Gaza. "The UN's response to Israel's early warning to the residents of Gaza is a disgrace! For many years, the United Nations has turned a blind eye to Hamas' arming and its use of the civilian population and civilian infrastructure in the Gaza Strip as a hiding place for its weapons and murder, and now, instead of standing by Israel, whose citizens were slaughtered by Hamas terrorists and which tries to minimize harm to those not involved, it is preaching to Israel. The U.N. should now focus on returning the abductees, condemning Hamas and supporting Israel's right to defend itself," he said. (Itamar Eichner. Daniel Edelson, New York)
