Security Council to meet Monday for session on Oct. 7 sexual violence

The United Nations Security Council will hold an emergency session on Monday to discuss the report issued this week by the UN’s envoy on sex crimes detailing the sexual violence perpetrated by Palestinian terrorists on October 7 and against hostages who have been held since.

Requests for the session were made by Security Council members the US, UK and France.

Foreign Minister Israel Katz in a statement says he will attend the session along with relatives of the hostages still being held by Hamas and will use the opportunity to demand that the UN declare Hamas a terror organization and demand the immediate release of the hostages. (The Security Council has adopted several resolutions already demanding the release of the hostages.)

Just getting them to admit Hamas did something on Oct. 7 would be a victory.

I think we have a better chance of aliens from Alpha Centauri arriving and landing in New York City.
