Prior to the vote, US Ambassador to ECOSOC Kelley Currie said that her country once again “calls on Hamas to return the [bodies of] Israeli Defense Forces soldiers Hadar Goldin and Oron Shaul, as well as Israeli civilians Avera Mengistu and Hisham al-Sayed, to their families immediately.HARD TO BELIEVE AT THE UN! At @UNECOSOC yesterday the EU members did not support an Israel initiative to include in the usual anti Israel texts a sentence calling for the immediate release of the civilians and soldiers held in Gaza by Hamas! Disappointing. @IsraelMFA @IsraelinUN
