      <title>Israeli envoy and UN official clash at hearing on children in conflict</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Diplomatic niceties broke down at the United Nations on Friday when Israel’s ambassador and the UN secretary-general’s special representative for children ​and armed conflict became embroiled in a furious shouting ‌match at a public hearing.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting in New York to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, the Israeli envoy, ​Danny Danon, demanded the resignation of Pramila Patten, who produced ​a report that &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-place-israel-sexual-violence-in-conflict-blacklist-israeli-envoy-says-2026-05-29/"&gt;blacklisted Israel for such alleged abuses&lt;/a&gt; for ⁠the first time, accusing her of bias.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“You caved to the secretary-general’s ​obsession with targeting Israel,” Danon said, referring to UN chief Antonio Guterres.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another ​UN official, Vanessa Frazier, Guterres’ representative for children and armed conflict and compiler of a &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-warns-israeli-settlers-could-join-blacklist-violations-against-children-2026-06-17/"&gt;separate report that also blacklists Israel&lt;/a&gt;, interjected by shouting a point of ​order.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She demanded that Danon refrain from “personal attacks” and added that ​she had “verified evidence.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Danon said Frazier should be quiet.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“We are a member state, and ‌you ⁠work for the UN, and you will be quiet now. You will be quiet … you and your shameful report,” he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Frazier, Malta’s former UN ambassador, &lt;a rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" class="link--external" href="https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/un-warns-israeli-settlers-could-join-blacklist-violations-against-children-2026-06-17/"&gt;issued her report this week on behalf of Guterres&lt;/a&gt;, warning ​that Israeli settler ​groups could be ⁠added to a global blacklist for violations against children as the UN chief voiced alarm at what ​he called a “staggering” rise in violations against Palestinian children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Israel ​itself ⁠already features in that report’s list of shame annexes for alleged violations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Patten’s report was issued last month, Danon called it “a new low” ⁠and ​Israel’s foreign ministry vowed to sever all ​ties with Guterres, who leaves office after 10 years at the year-end.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both reports also ​blacklist Israel’s arch enemy Hamas.&lt;/p&gt;
