Ambassador Gilad Erdan to UN: 'These are war crimes and must be condemned'

Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, sent an urgent letter to the members of the UN Security Council on Saturday evening.

Ambassador Erdan stressed in his letter that Hamas launched a war against Israel through a murderous terror campaign, rocket launches, massacre of innocent civilians, and abduction of civilians from their homes - among them children and the elderly.

"These are appalling war crimes and the international community must strongly and clearly condemn them," said Erdan.
