The United Nations marked for the first time the International Day of Remembrance of and Recognition for Victims of Terror Attacks (following a resolution passed by the UN General Assembly in 2017). The International Remembrance Day included speeches, exhibitions and ceremonies at the UN building in New York.
With this initiative, Israel’s Mission to the UN, headed by Ambassador Danny Danon, will present an exhibition in memory of the victims of terrorist acts in Israel. The exhibition, which will be on display at the UN building in New York, presents the victims of terrorist attacks in Israel, including their photo and a short eulogy.
Ambassador Danon said “the victims of terror attacks, along with the uniformed soldiers who fell in defense of the country, have a place in our hearts; they will never fade from our memory. These hostile acts of terror are cowardly, and the terrorists who perpetrate them incite further violence against our people as they are considered heroes in their society. The international community must demand that the chairman of the Palestinian Authority stop the transfer of salaries to murderers, and their families, who shed the blood of innocent Israelis.”
