Israel’s mission to the UN tweets points of criticism against the Iran nuclear deal, after the UN Security Council votes to approve it.
“I would like to say that the Iranians are metaphorically laughing in everyone’s face, but the sad part is that this time it isn’t a metaphor,” says one tweet, presumably from Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor.
“If the int’l community refuses to see this as a tragedy, that is a grave strategic error, but if it’s aware of the tragedy & still chooses to purse this dangerous path, that is a catastrophe,” says another tweet.
“It might sound surprising to some, but we in Israel tend to take it seriously when someone threatens to destroy us,” Prosor tweets.
