Israel reacted with outrage.
The UN secretary-general will list Israel and Hamas as violating the rights and protection of children in armed conflict in an upcoming annual report to the Security Council.
According to the preface of last year’s report, it lists parties engaged in “the killing and maiming of children” and in “attacks on schools, hospitals and protected persons in relation to schools and/or hospitals”. The head of Antonio Guterres’ office, Courtenay Rattray, called Israel’s UN ambassador, Gilad Erdan, on Friday to inform him that Israel would be listed on the next report when it is sent to the council within a few weeks, UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters.Israel reacted with outrage, sending news organisations a video of Mr Erdan berating Mr Rattray, supposedly on the other end of a phone call.
