Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations has criticised the Security Council for its response to the October 7 Hamas attack following a vote to boost humanitarian aid to Gaza, Reuters reports.

“The UN’s focus only on aid mechanisms to Gaza is unnecessary and disconnected from reality — Israel is already allowing aid deliveries at the required scale,” said Gilad Erdan.

“The UN should have focused on the humanitarian crisis of the hostages.”

Erdan also thanked the United States for its strong support of Israel during the negotiations on the resolution, which he said maintained Israel’s security authority to inspect aid entering Gaza.
