Dani Danon, Israel’s envoy to the United Nations, on X and in reaction to Hamas’s statements that described the October 7 attacks as “mistakes,” announced that these actions are crimes against humanity and that Israel will not allow Hamas to remain armed.

The Israeli envoy to the UN wrote: “This action was a planned attack on civilians, not a mistake.”

Dani Danon also wrote: “They deliberately killed families and kidnapped babies, women, and the elderly, and Israel will do whatever is necessary to ensure that this terrorist organization will never be able to carry out another massacre.”
