World Children's Day Highlights Israeli Children Held in Gaza and UN's Selective Care

On World Children's Day, Israel's UN ambassador criticized the United Nations for failing to acknowledge the 38 Israeli children who have been kidnapped and held hostage by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for 45 days. UNICEF's Executive Director did not mention the abducted children in her annual statement, and UNICEF has disregarded their plight online. Demonstrations were held outside UNICEF offices in New York and Tel Aviv to raise awareness of the hostage children. Israel's ambassador accused the UN of neglecting Israeli children's well-being and failing to condemn Hamas' brutal actions. The protests were interrupted by rocket fire towards central Israel.
