Several students from the Orot Israel College in Samaria on Thursday called on the United Nations to condemn a Dec. 9 terrorist attack that left one of their classmates seriously wounded and also caused her baby's death.
Seven Israelis were wounded in the shooting, which took place at a bus stop near the Samaria settlement of Ofra, including 21-year-old Shira Ish-Ran, who was 30-weeks pregnant at the time.
Her baby was delivered via emergency cesarean section but the newborn – named Amiad Yisrael – died three days later.
Through outgoing Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon, Ish-Ran's friends send a letter to U.N. Secretary General António Guterres demanding he denounces the attack.
The letter says Guterres, who has yet to comment on the shooting, "must condemn the terrorists who cut short the life on an unborn baby, killed in his mother's womb solely for being Jewish."
Danon told Israel Hayom that he "expects a clear U.N. condemnation of this attack. The international communities' silence legitimizes this heinous act and the Palestinian incitement that preceded it."
