Israel’s delegation at the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) annual conference on Monday was able to put a stop to two proposals that condemned Israel’s actions in the war against Hamas and called for an immediate ceasefire, a Monday release from Likud MK Danny Danon’s office reported.
Two proposals for an immediate ceasefire
South Africa has been an active participant in this coalition, along with Arab countries, who offered a proposal at the conference to put an immediate end to Israel’s war against Hamas. During her speech, the South African representative accused Israel of committing crimes against humanity and creating a deliberate humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Victory for Israel
Israel’s delegation, led by Danon, successfully stopped the attempt to pass both proposals, which were ultimately voted down, the release noted.
“I thank our friends from various countries who cooperated with Israel’s delegation to avert a diplomatic victory for South Africa that would have inflicted significant damage on Israel,” Danon concluded.
