The UN Security Council failed to agree on a statement Thursday condemning the Jerusalem attack which killed eight people earlier in the day.
UN diplomats said that Libya, the only Arab state on the council, had demanded a "balanced" statement that would also condemn the killing of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces.
In a furious reaction to the council deadlock, Israeli Ambassador to UN Dan Gillerman blasted Libya, describing it as a ”terrorist country” that brought “Lockerbie.”
“Unfortunately this is what happens when the Security Council is infiltrated by terrorists,” Gillerman fumed. “It brings into question the legitimacy of such a country not just being in the Security Council but being a member of the United Nations.”
In a scathing rejoinder, Libya’s deputy UN representative Ibrahim al-Dabbashi retorted: “We don’t need a certificate of good conduct from the Israeli terrorist regime or its representative here.”
He said four or five members, including Libya, insisted “on taking a balanced action condemning the killings in Gaza as well as the killings in Jerusalem.”
