An unusual confrontation took place between Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, and Dean, the UN secretary-general's representative for children and armed conflict, Virginia Fraser. Danon spoke at an event marking the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict Zones and criticized the UN secretary-general's representative on sexual violence in conflict, Pramila Patten. Fraser then interrupted his remarks and attempted to cut short his speech, and a verbal confrontation erupted between the two that escalated into shouting. Danon said that "Israel was placed on a blacklist alongside Hamas, ISIS and Boko Haram. This is a moral disgrace."
