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 mordet fördömde FN:s säkerhetsråd mordet på Folke Bernadotte som "en feg handling som ser ut att ha utförts av en terroristliga i Jerusalem då FN:s representant fullgjorde sin fredsbevarande insats i det Heliga Landet".
