Israel's representative on the United Nations Security Council, Gilad Erdan, wore a Star of David at a meeting on Monday. He stated that he would only remove them if the Council condemned Hamas's atrocities.

"Some of you have learned nothing in the last 80 years. Some of you have forgotten why this body was created," he told those gathered at the Security Council.

According to Erdan, the Security Council remained silent after Hamas killed more than 1,300 Israelis and took 230 people hostage on October 7. The Security Council has not yet adopted a single resolution on the conflict, because there is division over a ceasefire and over condemnation of Hamas' horrific attack and Israel's extremely violent response to it.
