The following day the United Nations Security Council condemned the killing of Bernadotte as "a cowardly act which appears to have been committed by a criminal group of terrorists in Jerusalem while the United Nations representative was fulfilling his peace-seeking mission in the Holy Land."
Dagen efter fordømte FN's sikkerhedsråd mordet på Folke Bernadotte som en "kujonagtig handling, der synes at være blevet udført af en terroristbande i Jerusalem, da FN-repræsentant udførte sin fredsbevarende mission i Det Hellige Land".
