UN to exhibit drawings by soldier whose body is held in Gaza

"The drawings of Hadar Goldin, an Israeli soldier who was killed by Hamas in Gaza where his body is being held, will be exhibited at UN headquarters in New York.

A main exhibition area of the building will display the drawings during the General Assembly in September.

Goldin's parents, Leah and Simcha of Kfar Saba, and his twin brother, Tzur, will attend the exhibit's opening at the United Nations with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who will speak before the General Assembly...

Goldin's unit was attacked during a failed cease-fire initiated by the United Nations. He was killed and his remains are held by Hamas...

Oron Shaul, whose remains also are held by Hamas, for burial in Israel..."
