Czech defense minister calls for her country to leave the UN after resolution omits Hamas, hostages

Czech Defense Minister Jana Černochová is calling for the Czech Republic to abandon the United Nations after the General Assembly approved a resolution calling for a ceasfire in Israel.

The resolution made no mention of Hamas nor the hundreds of hostaged the terrorist organization took during its October 7 massacre in Israel. Černochová posted on social media that the resolution indicated that her country has no place in the U.N.

"Exactly 3 weeks ago, Hamas murdered over 1400 Israelis, more victims for their population than the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda murdered in the US on 9/11. And only 14 countries, including ours, have spoken out clearly and understandably against this unprecedented terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas terrorists. I am ashamed of the UN. In my opinion, the Czech Republic has no place in an organization that cheers on terrorists and does not respect the fundamental right to self-defence. Let's get out," she wrote.

Only 14 countries voted against the ceasfire resolution: Austria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Fiji, Guatemala, Hungary, Israel, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Paraguay, Tonga and the United States.
