PM Netanyahu on UNGA Condemnation of Hamas

(Communicated by the Prime Minister’s Media Adviser)

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu:

“The draft condemnation of Hamas in the UN General Assembly received a sweeping majority by countries that stood against Hamas. While it did not achieve a two-thirds majority, this is the first time that a majority of countries have voted against Hamas and I commend each of the 87 countries that took a principled stand against Hamas. This is a very important achievement for the US and Israel. I thank the American administration and US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley for the initiative.”
