‘shameful’
Neither Israel nor its major allies, the United States, which had been separated from the Council earlier this year, participated in the emergency debate.
But Israel’s ambassador in Geneva, Daniel Meron, slammed the off-site meeting.
“This marks another shameful chapter of the ongoing abuse of the Human Rights Commission,” he told reporters.
He accused the Council of “as a platform for anti-Israel propaganda while ignoring the cruel reality on the ground and the atrocities committed by Hamas.”

EU Ambassador Deike Potzel emphasized the group’s “all forms of principled counter-terrorism stance”, while highlighting its “support for Qatar’s sovereignty and territorial integrity” and called for “respect for international law to Israel.”

Ambassador Mxolisi Nkosi told the Council that the attacks were “attacked at the heart of the mediation process” and added that “it shows that Israel does not want to end the war on the genocide against the Palestinian people”.
“It is time for the international community to prove through practical countermeasures that Israel does not enjoy some form of special exemption from accountability.”
