Israel Blacklisted by UN for Failing to Protect Children in Conflict

Reported 11 months ago

On June 8, 2024, the United Nations announced that Israel would be included in the list of countries and armed forces failing to protect children in conflicts, alongside Palestinian groups Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Israeli Ambassador criticized the decision as shameful, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stating that UN Secretary-General Guterres would be remembered for this 'blacklist'. The report covering violations such as killings, sexual violence, abductions, and attacks on schools and hospitals is set to be submitted to the UN Security Council on June 14, with the specific reasons for Israel's inclusion unclear at this time.
