In a speech after the resolution was passed, Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said, “Today is a day that will be remembered as ‘infamous’. We have all witnessed that the United Nations no longer has the slightest claim to legitimacy or relevance.”
“By passing this resolution, the majority of the international community has shown that they prefer to support the law-abiding state of Israel in protecting its civilians, rather than supporting Nazi terrorists,” he added.
