Israel Fuming At UN's Moment Of Silence For Iran Leader: 'What’s Next? A Moment Of Silence For Hitler?

"Amid the international messages of condolence and support for Iran after the death of
President Ebrahim Raisi, the
United Nations Security Council on Monday held a solemn moment of silence to observe his passing. Israel is outraged by the gesture, saying that it was tantamount to honoring a terrorist, or "Hitler" - as stated by Israeli Ambassador to UN Gilad Erdan.
"You read correctly, the UN Security Council today held a moment’s silence to remember a mass murderer, Iranian President Raisi," Erdan said in a video published to social media.
"This body, which makes no effort to free our hostages, tipped their heads today to a man who was responsible for the deaths of thousands in Iran, in Israel, and around the world." The Israeli representative added: “What’s next? A minute of silence on the anniversary of Hitler’s death?” and charged that the UNSC has become "a danger to world peace."
