Israeli bombardment of Gaza
Speaking at an emergency session of the UN General Assembly on 26 October 2023, Israeli envoy Gilad Erdan described the Hamas attack on October 7th as a “pogrom”:
- “The rockets were only cover for the pogrom that followed. Barbaric Hamas terrorists invaded Israel from the sea, the land and the air.
- “They came with one purpose: to savagely murder every living thing they encountered.”[1]
