UN to blacklist Israel in Children and Armed Conflict report

The United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is expected to include Israel in its blacklist of countries and entities that commit grave violations against children in situations of armed conflict.

Last year’s report listed entities such as the Taliban in Afghanistan and ISIS in Iraq. Hamas is also expected to be included in this year’s list.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, “The UN put itself on history’s blacklist today when it joined the supporters of the Hamas murderers. The IDF is the most moral army in the world and no delusional decision by the UN will change that.

Erdan responds​

Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan made a video of himself receiving the news. “I am utterly shocked and disgusted by this shameful decision by the Secretary-General.”

Israel fumes as it’s added to UN ‘list of shame’ for wartime children’s rights violations​


Israel, Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad have been added to the United Nations’ so-called “list of shame,” which is attached to an annual report released by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’s office that documents alleged rights violations against children in armed conflict, sparking outrage in Jerusalem.

This is the first time that Israel and Hamas have been included on this list, joining the ranks of Russia, the Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Afghanistan, Iraq, Myanmar, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.

Israel is believed to be the first democratic country included on the list. Last year, Russia was added to the list for the first time over its treatment of children in the war against Ukraine.

Jerusalem fumed over its inclusion on the blacklist with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying, “The UN has put itself on the blacklist of history today when it joined the supporters of the Hamas murderers. The IDF is the most moral army in the world and no delusional decision by the UN will change that.”
