Returning UN Ambassador Danny Danon will give his first speech tomorrow morning as the UN Security Council convenes to discuss the Middle East.
“Today, I return to the UN, an institution which remains obsessively biased against Israel, and has since also become morally bankrupt,” he will say, according to his spokesperson. “But something else has shifted: Today I represent a country fundamentally changed since October 7th – a country that understands its fate lies in its hands alone.”
He will also blast the UN for its ostensible silence over the October 7 attacks:
“Any rational person would expect the Security Council to act swiftly and decisively on behalf of the murdered and kidnapped, to condemn Hamas’s terror and bloodshed, and to support Israel’s efforts to eliminate the terrorist organization responsible for such appalling horrors. But 321 days since Hamas’s massacre, all we hear from the UN is a deafening silence.”
