Zeina Jallad, who was picked over the vetting committee’s top choice, blames the United States and Europe for boycotting Hamas and claims falsely that the terror group recognizes Israel.

The United Arab Emirates signaled it could join a push to secure the waterway against Iran, but most allies remain reluctant to intervene directly.

“A U.N. mandate born from a 2014 Iran-sponsored resolution is now set to be filled by Zeina Jallad, who has voiced support for Hamas,” Israel’s Foreign Ministry said.
“When Israel is fighting for the safety and security of its people, it is of special significance that representatives of many countries choose to sit together around the table of freedom and express partnership,” the Israeli ambassador said.
The goal is for the principle of “one authority, one law, and one weapon” to apply to all armed groups in the Strip.
The Strip’s demilitarization would allow for Gaza, Judea and Samaria to be united under the Palestinian Authority, the Board of Peace envoy said.
“I call on the U.N. Security Council to unequivocally condemn Hezbollah and designate the Iranian terror proxy as a terrorist organization,” the Israeli foreign minister stated.
“Imagine you are at home. You have three children. Which one do you take with you first?” the Israeli envoy told the council. “Do you go back for the others?”
Legal analysis says a report to the Human Rights Council ignores Hamas’s “openly declared genocidal intent.”
The Trump administration’s “trade over aid” approach is necessary to root out inefficiencies and waste at the United Nations and elsewhere, the U.S. envoy to the global body said.
