Ban: “Israel” Responsible for Gaza Children Killing… Netanyahu Angry
Local Editor
"Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today denounced what he called the "hypocrisy" of the United Nations after UN chief Ban Ki-moon demanded "Israel" protect the lives of children in Gaza.
Netanyahu claimed that Hamas was to be held accountable for making Palestinian children hostages and declared that "... the UN chooses once again to preach at "Israel".
Furthermore, Ban on Thursday urged "Israel" to protect the lives of Palestinian children, who bore the brunt of last year's military operations in the Gaza Strip.
"Last year was one of the worst in recent memory for children in countries affected by conflict," the UN chief said, adding he was "deeply alarmed at the suffering of so many children as a result of "Israeli" military operations in Gaza last year."
He made his remarks as the United Nations issued a new report highlighting what Ban called "unprecedented challenges for children in conflict zones around the world".
The UN secretary general said that last year was particularly lethal for children in Gaza, where more than 500 died.
Moreover, the United Nations had accused the "Israeli" army of being responsible for strikes on buildings where civilians were taking shelter during the conflict.
At the height of the Gaza conflict, some 300,000 displaced Palestinians were taking shelter in some 91 UN schools, several of which were hit by "Israeli" strikes.
"I urge ‘Israel' " to take concrete and immediate steps, including reviewing existing policies and practices, to prevent the killing and maiming of children and protect them, and to respect the special protections afforded to schools and hospitals," said Ban.
However, in a letter addressed to Ban, the Zionist entity's UN ambassador Ron Prosor said Hamas, the blockaded territory's de facto rulers, were to blame for Gaza casualties involving non-combatants, and accused it of having "used Palestinian civilians, including children, as human shields" during the fighting.
Last year's war martyred 2,200 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and killed 73 on the "Israeli" side, 67 of them soldiers.
Henceforth, "Israel" maintains that it needed to target those facilities because Palestinian militants were using the areas to store weapons and fire rockets.
