Brev till FN om raketattackerna från Gaza

Israels FN ambassadör har skrivit till generalsekreterare Ban Ki- moon.

 

H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon
Secretary-General
United Nations
New York

Excellency,

More than 75 rockets have been fired into Israeli communities from Gaza in the past day. More than 250 rockets have been fired since last Friday. That's one rocket every twenty minutes. Israeli civilians have less than 15 seconds to find shelter from these attacks.

The lives of 1,000,000 Israeli civilians are paralyzed. 200,000 Israeli children are out of school.

During your trip to Israel last month, you met these children and saw these areas with your own eyes. Yesterday, you told the Security Council, "Rocket attacks out of Gaza against Israeli civilian areas are unacceptable and must stop immediately." Yet, the Security Council has uttered zero words of condemnation of these attacks.

There is something wrong with this equation. It is time for the Security Council to speak with one voice against the terrorism that continues to flow from Gaza.

The situation is grave. If one rocket lands in the wrong place at the wrong time, Israel will be forced to respond in a completely different manner.

I wish to inform you that an identical letter has been sent to H.E. Sir Mark Lyall Grant, President of the Security Council.

Allow me, Excellency, to renew to you the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours truly,
[Signed]
Ron Prosor
Ambassador
Permanent Representative
