Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, engaged in a sharp confrontation with Vance Fraser, the UN Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict, during a committee discussion on a report detailing violations in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Danon accused Fraser of presenting biased data in the report, which he claimed ignored Hamas's actions. He stated that the document listed over 12,000 violations but failed to mention Hamas, despite the organization's alleged use of children as human shields, recruitment of minors into terrorism, and turning schools into military bases.
Fraser rejected Danon's criticism and placed responsibility on Israel, asserting that Israel prevents UN observers from entering the Gaza Strip to verify violations. She urged Danon to work with the Israeli government to allow access, arguing that countries blocking observers cannot critique reports due to a lack of documentation.
In response, Danon launched a strong attack on Fraser's work. "Hamas uses children as human shields, recruits children into terrorism, and turns schools into military bases, but in UN reports, it simply disappears," he said. "Instead of exposing Hamas's crimes, you are spreading false information against Israel," Danon added. "As long as you refuse to fulfill your role professionally, your report's conclusions have no value."
