‘This is no cycle of violence,’ Danon says in first UN speech
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli envoy Danny Danon, making his debut speech to the Security Council, speaks now, saying how all Israelis have been touched by war and terror.
“We will never compromise the security of the Jewish state,” he says.
He adds it’s not how he thought his first address would go, and then chides the Security Council.
“I am disappointed that all I hear are calls to end the cycle of violence. This is not a cycle of violence. These are unprovoked attacks against Israelis for no reason, just because they are Jews living in their homeland,” he says.
He says any country would act the same as Israel, and describes fear in Israel amid the random attacks.
