Envoy says Israel won’t accept UN call for ‘restraint from both sides’

UN ambassador Danny Danon says Israel will reject calls for both sides to exercise restraint following a major flareup in violence in the Gaza Strip.

Danon says Palestinian terror groups are responsible for the escalation by launching hundreds of rockets into Israel over the past 24 hours.

In a statement, Danon says Israel “will not accept a call for both sides to exercise restraint.”

“There is one side that attacks and fires 400 missiles at civilian populations, and there is another side that protects its citizens,” he says.
