Horrific Video of Hamas Attack Shown at UN; Hamas Fighter Attempts to Decapitate Thai Worker with Gardening Shovel

Gilad Erdan, Israel's permanent representative to the United Nations, presented a short video to the General Assembly on Thursday, showing Hamas fighters attempting to decapitate a man with a gardening shovel during an attack on Israel. He told diplomats that the victim of this brutal attack was neither Israeli nor Jewish, but a Thai agricultural worker. Erdan stated at the UN General Assembly, 'In this, you can see a severely injured, bloodied civilian, still alive, lying on the ground while a Hamas savage, shouting Allahu Akbar, strikes the man's neck with a gardening shovel until he separates his head from his body.' This was shown during a two-day General Assembly session on the Middle East on Thursday. A vote is scheduled for Friday on a draft resolution presented by Arab countries calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Israeli diplomats placed a QR code titled 'Free Gaza from Hamas, scan to see Hamas's crimes' on every seat in the General Assembly hall to showcase this to all members. Israel has committed to destroying Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, in retaliation for an attack that resulted in the deaths of 1,400 people. Israel has subjected Gaza to relentless airstrikes, besieging its population of over two million and preparing for a ground invasion. Ayman Safadi, Jordan's Foreign Minister, representing Arab countries, accused Israel of turning Gaza into a 'perpetual hell on earth that will torment future generations.' He stated that the impact on Palestinian civilians is immense. Riyad Mansour, the Palestinian envoy to the United Nations, argued for a ceasefire, stating that some countries, which he did not name, are applying a clear double standard. U.S. President Joe Biden said on Monday that any discussion of a ceasefire in Gaza could only happen if Hamas releases all hostages taken during the October 7 attack on Israel. According to The Hill, Biden responded to a question about whether he supports a 'hostage release for ceasefire' agreement, saying, 'We need to get those hostages released, and then we can talk.' Earlier, Matthew Miller, a spokesperson for the U.S. State Department, stated that the United States opposes a ceasefire as it would allow Hamas to regain its strength. Israel insists that all hostages must be released and that it must ensure this terrorist group can never repeat the massacre it committed on October 7. The U.S., European Union, and Japan have designated the Hamas militia, which is supported by the Islamic Republic, as a terrorist organization.
