(MFA Spokesperson Announcement)
Israel utterly rejects the decision of the UN General Assembly this evening (Friday, 12 September 2025).
Once again, it has been proven how much the General Assembly is a political circus detached from reality: in the dozens of clauses of the declaration endorsed by this resolution, there is not a single mention that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
There is no reference to the simple fact that Hamas is solely responsible for the continuation of the war, through its refusal to return the hostages and disarm.
The resolution does not advance a solution of peace — on the contrary, it encourages Hamas to continue the war.
Israel thanks all the countries that did not lend their hand to this disgraceful decision in the General Assembly.
