At the UN Security Council, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen played a recording of a Hamas terrorist bragging to his parents that he “is proud that he has the blood of 10 [Jews] that he murdered.” In the recording the boy brags to his parents that he is calling them from the phone of a Jewish woman that he murdered.
“Mr. Secretary General, this is the world that we live [in],” says Cohen to the UN Council, continuing to pound Antonio Guterres for a comment he made in which he stated that the Hamas attacks did not occur in a vacuum.
According to the IDF, which played the tape as part of a screening for foreign journalists on Hamas atrocities a day earlier and also posted the recording on X, formerly known as Twitter, the call was made using the phone of a woman the terrorist had just killed.
In it, the terrorist boasts of being a hero for killing 10 Jews with his own hands. “I killed her and I killed her husband,” he said. “I killed 10 with my own hands! Dad, 10 with my own hands!”
“Oh my son, God bless you!” his father replies.
Cohen tweets that he has canceled a planned meeting with Guterres.
“After October 7, there is no room for a balanced approach,” he writes.
In Israel, minister Benny Gantz also takes aim at Guterres.
