Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleGilad Erdan, Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, issues a statement backing US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s expected demand to trigger “snapback” sanctions on Iran when he visits UN headquarters later today.
“If Security Council members don’t obey the sanctions that will be activated, it will be a fatal blow that will destroy the ability of the council to function and protect world peace and security,” Erdan says.
He adds: “The international community must obey the sanctions that will be brought back and not pave the way to a nuclear weapon for Iran’s murderous regime.”
