In a speech Tuesday at the UN Security Council, Israel's Ambassador Danny Danon said the international community must disarm Hamas or Israel will do it itself. Danon criticized the UN for condemning Israel while ignoring Hamas's use of civilian shields and Hezbollah's rocket fire from Lebanon.
In his Tuesday address to the UN Security Council, Israel's Ambassador Danny Danon issued a stark ultimatum: either the international community disarms Hamas, or Israel will take matters into its own hands. Danon accused the UN of a pattern of condemning Israel while ignoring the reality of Hamas operating from within civilian areas and Hezbollah launching rockets from Lebanon. The statement is the latest in a series of firm messages from Israel's UN envoy, who has repeatedly warned that Israel will not rely indefinitely on international bodies for its security. As The Zioneer has reported, Danon previously told the Council that Israel 'will not wait forever' and that the IDF retains the freedom to act against threats. The remarks come amid heightened tensions on multiple fronts, with the UN's role in mediating ceasefires and disarmament under scrutiny.
