Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, made a poignant statement by wearing a yellow star with the words “never again” while addressing the UN Security Council
This symbolic gesture, reminiscent of Nazi-imposed persecution, was Erdan’s vow to continue until the council condemns “atrocities” committed by Hamas. Erdan strongly criticized the Security Council for its silence regarding unprecedented terror attacks by Hamas militants against Israel on October 7.
The wearing of the yellow star faced swift criticism from Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. They recommended Erdan wear the Israeli flag instead, expressing disappointment in the delegation’s move. Yad Vashem Chairman Dani Dayan emphasized that this act not only disgraces Holocaust victims but also the state of Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu labeled the attacks as the most severe targeting the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Erdan’s symbolic protest underscores the gravity of the situation and reflects the frustration felt by Israel over the Security Council’s perceived inaction.
