Israel’s Ambassador to UN the Danny Danon slams countries supporting the UN resolution as being controlled by the Palestinians and backing terrorism.
“Those who support today’s resolution are like puppets. You are like puppets pulled by your Palestinian masters,” he says.
He rejects the vote as “nothing more than a performance of delusion.”
The Palestinians “know this won’t create jobs for their people. They know it won’t provide better healthcare for the people of Ramallah. It tells the Palestinians that they can continue to reject peace,” he says. “Instead, they incite hate and carry out terror attacks against Israel.”
“If you vote for it,” he says, “You are sanctioning it.”
“I thank those countries that reject this puppet show,” Danon concludes.
