Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, waved a picture of Yahya Sinwar while displaying the phone number of the Hamas leader during a discussion yesterday at the UN General Assembly calling for a ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

Erdan wrote next to the picture: "To reach a ceasefire: +970-599373765, call Yahya Sinwar."

In response to publishing Sinwar’s number, the organization replied and distributed the Israeli ambassador’s number; since then, Erdan has received many insults and personal attacks sent to his phone.

On Tuesday night, Channel 13 news studio tried to call Sinwar’s number.

Journalist Gil Tamari called the number, but it seems that the number was either out of service or the phone was off, as it went directly to voicemail.

Tamari added: "Yahya Sinwar, if you have received this and this is your number, it’s better to surrender," and another person added, "And return the hostages."

According to The Jerusalem Post, most of the insults Erdan received were sent from an Indonesian phone number. Most were insults and threats directed at him and his family.
