Israel has angrily dismissed a UN resolution urging a “humanitarian truce” in Gaza, with the country’s ambassador calling it an “infamy” and saying Israel would continue to defend itself, AFP reports.

“This is a dark day for the UN and for mankind,” Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan said, vowing his country would use “every means” in fighting Hamas.

“Today is a day that will go down as infamy. We have all witnessed that the UN no longer holds even one ounce of legitimacy or relevance,” he said.
