The US ambassador to the United Nations on Monday openly accused Israel of attacking innocents, telling a meeting of the bloc’s Security Council that the Israeli military has “no basis” to open fire on those that are plainly not enemy combatants.

Linda Thomas-Greenfield asserted the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) have repeatedly attacked marked UN vehicles, schools, and civilians, departing from the usual symbiotic relationship that the US-Israeli allyship usually shares.
