In a deeply troubling development, the UN's Human Rights Council has alleged that Israel's military actions in Gaza since October 7 amount to genocide. Israel has unequivocally rejected this baseless accusation, underscoring the UN's deeply ingrained antisemitism. Furthermore, a UN resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire was adopted today after the Biden administration abstained from using its veto power. This decision by Israel's foremost ally could have profound implications, emboldening the enemies of the only democracy in the Middle East. Amid these disconcerting developments, the mission of Zaka Tel-Aviv has never been more critical. Our dedicated volunteers continue to provide essential support and aid to those affected by the ongoing conflict, embodying the spirit of resilience and compassion that defines our community. |
