Earlier, during the Security Council meeting, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized that all acts of terrorism, whether carried out by organizations like Lashkar-e-Taiba based in Pakistan or by Hamas, and regardless of the locations they target such as Mumbai or Kibbutz Beeri, are considered unlawful and unjustifiable.

No member of this Council, no nation in this entire body could or would tolerate the slaughter of its people," Blinken said.
“As this Council and the UN General Assembly have repeatedly affirmed, all acts of terrorism are unlawful and unjustifiable. They're unlawful and unjustifiable, whether they target people in Nairobi or Bali… Istanbul or Mumbai, in New York or Kibbutz Be’eri," Blinken told the UN Security Council.
"They are unlawful and unjustifiable whether they're carried out by ISIS, by Boko Haram, by Al Shabaab, by Lashkar-e-Taiba or by Hamas. They are unlawful and unjustifiable whether victims are targeted for their faith, their ethnicity, their nationality or any other reason," Blinken said.
