Israel’s outgoing Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor calls on the Security Council to denounce the rash of attacks against Israelis in recent days.
“In 72 hours alone, 11 terror attacks have taken place in cities across Israel, and the Security Council stands by in silence,” Prosor says.

“Israelis are being attacked and murdered in the streets, in their vehicles, and even in their homes, and the UN stands by in silence.”
Prosor blames incitement and “instigation to violence by the Palestinian leadership” through inflammatory language.
“As my final act as Israel’s Ambassador, I wish to stress the urgency of this situation that requires immediate action,” he says, urging the Security Council to “denounce these attacks in a clear and unequivocal manner.”
