Egypt calls for UN Security Council meeting over “Israeli aggression” in Gaza
Egypt’s representative to the United Nations called for the meeting in formal letters to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the current head of the council, India’s representative, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The Egyptian ambassador expressed Egypt’s “serious alarm at the Israeli aggression on Gaza” and described the attack as a violation of international law.
He called for urgent international action, particularly from the council, “to confront this serious situation which threatens international peace and security.”

We have the Iron Dome defense. Gaza doesn’t attempt to defend themselves at all, just go on offense. Doesn’t the last of a defensive strategy indicate that you, in fact, are the agressor?

What is do anyone expect from the Muslim world, the truth? May God help Israel. We don’t have a President in office who is willing to do what has to be done to confront Islamic extremism. He blamed a stupid video for the death of our Libyan ambassador.

I am all for moving the United Nations to Afghanistan, Egypt or some other troubled Muslim country.
