Israel rejects calls for ceasefire at major UN meeting and vows to destroy Hamas

Israel has vowed again to destroy Hamas, rejecting calls from the United Nations chief, the Palestinians and many countries at a high-level UN meeting for a ceasefire, and declaring that the war in Gaza is not only its war but “the war of the free world”.

He told the UN Security Council that the proportionate response to the October 7 massacre is “a total destruction to the last one of the Hamas”, calling the extremist group “the new Nazis”.Mr Cohen called the Hamas attacks “a wake-up call for the entire free world” against extremism, and he urged “the civilised world to stand united behind Israel to defeat Hamas”.

Mr al-Maliki warned that more attacks and killings and weapons and alliances will not make Israel safer: “Only peace will.” The UN chief said the risk of the war spreading through the region is increasing as societies splinter and tensions threaten to boil over. But Mr Guterres also stressed that “those appalling attacks cannot justify the collective punishment of the Palestinian people”.
