    I'm sure Israel is highly concerned about what the UN wants.
  • Yeah, the UN has absolutely NO power to order "a halt on Rafah." What a ridiculous headline.
  • Move the U.N. to Haiti. When they get Port au Prince taken care of then we will listen to them.
  • @Oldman5261
    In order to order someone around you have to have authority…..
  • The UN couldn't order a friggin' pizza. Tell them to order Hamas to disband. What a joke.
  • @JohnD-JohnD
    Have all the hostages been returned home? Did Hamas stop firing? No to both? Would you stop if that was your family/friends taken hostage and they were shooting at you? No, you wouldn't.
  • @badmojamma
    If you needed an example of why the U.S. needs to get out of the UN and the UN out of the U.S., here it is. No one on this planet gives the slightest shit what the UN 'orders.'
  • @n.manasseh8615
    Why didn't the UN order the Immediate Release of the Hostages?
  • @lancecahill5486
    Where was the UN when the Khmer Rouge wiped out 1/3 of the population of Cambodia, or when 800,000 Tutsi people were massacred, or when tens of thousands of Iraqis and Afghans were killed, or when 1;200 Israelis were slaughtered? The list goes on and on. The UN is totally useless and irrelevant.

    Once again the UN proves who they are, United Nothing☠️
  • Three bodies of Israeli hostages were found this past week. Seven in one week found murdered. Two hostages were rescued in Rafah at the beginning of the Rafah offensive. Today the ICC "committed suicide" [and LOL, it was applauded by South Africa] and made a ruling so stupid that its credibility and its significance have essentially been destroyed by its own doing. It "ordered" Israel to discontinue its Rafah offensive because of harm occurring to Palestinians taking refuge in Rafah. Polls of Palestinians show 70% of Palestinians approve the atrocities of 10/7 and at least that percentage approve the arson kites, cars ramming into bus stops , explosive laden balloons sent to Israeli kindergartens, and the tens of thousands of rockets fired into Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Palestinian supporters in Iraq. Ordering Israel to stop its fighting the attempts to destroy it is just plain stupid. What kind of drugs are these judges taking?
  • Hey they all started it all on October 7th.retaluation doesn't feel good does it.
  • @SeaDog5951
    So the UN orders a hault. How about NO.
  • @baizuo3954
    Who the hell pays any attention to the UN? Like we tell the UN, you want our guns come and take them.
