Israel was barred from presenting incontrovertible video evidence to the Security Council that the Palestinians were solely responsible for instigating the recent violence at and around the Temple Mount
UN Security Council Refuses to Allow Israel to Present Videos of Palestinian Violence
Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, addressed the United Nations Security Council on April 25th during a meeting regarding the Middle East. The meeting focused on the situation in Jerusalem and recent violence erupting at and around the Temple Mount. Ambassador Erdan separated fact from fiction in taking apart the tiresome Palestinian victimhood narrative, which always claims that the Israelis are at fault for responding to violence instigated by Palestinian thugs.
The Security Council refused to let Ambassador Erdan present videos of the Palestinians’ violence during his remarks. But he did show a video compilation to the media before the meeting began. The video evidence, taken from security cameras surrounding the Temple Mount, proves that the recent spate of violence in the vicinity of the Temple Mount began when Palestinians attacked Jews and police with stones, firecrackers, and fireworks. The Israeli police responded to this violence with remarkable restraint.
