H.E. Mr. Cristián Barros Melet
President of the Security Council
United Nations
New York
Excellency,
I write to draw your attention to the most recent terror attack against
Israeli civilians. This morning, 12 Israelis were savagely stabbed by a
Palestinian terrorist on a Tel Aviv bus.
The terrorist who attacked innocent men and women came from the city of
Tulkarem, but he was not alone. On the bus with him and directing his
murderous hand, were years of anti-Israel incitement fed to him by
Palestinian leaders, as well, as the rogue regimes that fund and celebrate
terrorists attacks against Jews, namely Iran and Qatar.
Shortly after the attack, Hamas - a terrorist group, proxy of Iran, and
President Abbas’s partner in the Palestinian unity government - praised the
stabbings and encouraged Palestinians to commit similar attacks against
Israelis. Numerous cartoons such as the ones shown on the following page
were posted on Hamas-affiliated news websites.
The Security Council has yet to say a word in response to the wave of
terrorism aimed at Israeli citizens in recent months. By remaining silent,
the Council is giving terrorists and their sponsors a free pass and
literally letting them get away with murder.
I urge the Council to immediately and unequivocally condemn the recent
terrorist attacks. It must denounce Palestinian incitement, denounce the
Hamas terrorist group, and denounce those states that are lending their
support to this murderous campaign.
I should be grateful if you would have this letter distributed as an
official document of the Security Council. I wish to inform you that an
identical letter has been sent to H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of
the United Nations. Please accept, Excellency, the assurance of my highest
consideration.
Yours truly,
Ron Prosor
Ambassador
Permanent Representative
21 January 2015

Hours after this morning’s terrorist attack in which 12 Israelis were
stabbed, Palestinian media outlets posted cartoons praising the stabbings.
Safa News Agency published the image below of a knife painted in the colors
of the Palestinian flag. In the background is a bloodied Israeli flag. The
caption reads “Good morning Palestine.”
