Jason Greenblatt, US President Donald Trump’s Special Representative for International Negotiations, on Thursday published an op-ed in The Hill in which he wondered why the UN refrained from openly condemning acts of terror against Israel.

“On Dec. 6, the United Nations failed to pass a resolution condemning Hamas’s terrorist activities. On Dec. 9, Hamas praised a terror attack that critically injured a pregnant woman Shira Ish-Ran and six other Israelis, calling it ‘heroic.’ On Dec. 12, Shira’s baby, Amiad Yisrael, died as a result of the attack,” wrote Greenblatt.

“The UN General Assembly claims to want peace between Israelis and Palestinians, but it seems to think it can achieve it by defending terrorists. Given the choice between peace and terrorism, the General Assembly has chosen to defend terrorism,” he charged.

“The UN has condemned Israel — a UN member state — hundreds of times. But it has never condemned Hamas, the terrorist group that controls Gaza and terrorizes the people of Israel,” Greenblatt pointed out.

“Just a month ago,” he continued, “Hamas fired over four hundred rockets into Israel. It has released hundreds of burning kites and encouraged violent demonstrations. These wanton acts of violence, which have risked the lives of untold numbers of civilians and caused millions of dollars worth of damage, clearly deserve the strongest of condemnations.”

“On Dec. 6, the United States sponsored a resolution that gave the UN the opportunity to express its condemnation of Hamas for its terrorist activities. The US resolution blames Hamas for firing rockets into Israel — a clear and blatant act of terrorism.”

“But instead of welcoming the opportunity to denounce terrorism as an indispensable step toward peace, allies of Hamas maneuvered to ensure that the General Assembly maintained its perfect record of silence on Hamas terrorism and chose to side with those who use violence against civilians,” wrote the US envoy.
