The bits you didn't draw attention to in your Ban Ki-Moon defence

Officials said the UN special envoy for children in armed conflict, Leila Zerrougui, had recommended that both Israel and Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, be placed on the report's list of parties that recruit, use, kill, maim or commit acts of sexual violence against children. But the officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because the recommendation was not public, said there were differences of opinion among those on the ground on whether Israel should be listed – a key reason why it wasn't and neither was Hamas.

The report, covering 2014, includes Israel and "the state of Palestine" in a 33-paragraph section on "grave violations committed against children during armed conflict". It cites escalating hostilities in Gaza and a significant increase in tensions in the West Bank, "with devastating impacts for children".
In Gaza, at least 561 children – 557 Palestinians and 4 Israelis – were killed, and 4,271 were injured, all but 22 of them Palestinians, the report said. In the West Bank, 13 Palestinian boys and three Israeli youths were killed and 1,218 children

The secretary general urged Israel "to take concrete and immediate steps, including by reviewing existing policies and practices, to protect children, to prevent the killing and maiming of children, and to respect the special protections afforded to schools and hospitals".
He also urged Israel to ensure accountability for perpetrators of alleged violations.
