UN is to place Israel on a global blacklist for violations against Palestinian children

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will add Israel to a global list of offenders for committing violations against children. Israel’s envoy to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said he was “utterly shocked and disgusted by this shameful decision”. He added that Israel’s military is the “most moral army in the world”. The global list is included in a report on children and armed conflict that is due to be submitted to the UN Security Council on June 14.
