Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon provided a powerful address at The Jerusalem Post Conference in New York City City on Monday, turning down global calls to stop Israel’s war versus Hamas and implicating the United Nations of ethical failure in its action to October 7.
Reacting to current relocations by the UK, France and Canada to think about sanctions on Israel if it continues military operations in Gaza, Danon stated certainly:
” These nations threatened Israel that if we will not stop the war, they will use sanctions versus us. I have news for those recognized leaders who signed this statement– we will not stop the war! We will not stop the war and leave 58 captives. We will not stop the war and leave Hamas in power. They need to comprehend it and support us.”
Danon’s remarks were consulted with applause as he straight resolved captive households seated in the back of the location:
” We are devoted to you and we will not stop till we bring your kids home! That is an assurance!”
Danon talk about UN’s Martin Griffiths, UNRWA activities
The ambassador likewise condemned declarations made recently by UN Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Martin Griffiths– whom Danon improperly described as Tom Fletcher– who had actually implicated Israel of genocide in Gaza.
” Recently in the UN Security Council, a senior UN authorities, Under Secretary-General for Humanitarian Help Tom Fletcher, blamed us for dedicating genocide. This isn’t the ambassador from Syria or Libya– we are utilized to hearing that from them– however this is a UN authorities,” Danon stated.
” My message to him was really clear: We will not work together with him till he withdraws his words and apologises. It is disgraceful that a UN authorities is implicating Israel of dedicating genocide,” he included, to strong applause from the crowd.
Danon scheduled a few of his harshest criticism for UNRWA, the UN’s firm for Palestinian refugees.
” All of us concur that UNRWA stopped working,” Danon stated. “Ayelet Samerano marched with us the other day on Fifth Opportunity. Her child, Yonatan, was abducted by an UNRWA worker. This terrorist got in the kibbutz, abducted Yonatan Samerano’s body to Gaza, and when he got home, he got an income from UNRWA.”
” We passed really crucial legislation in Israel to show to the world that we can proceed without UNRWA,” he stated. “However look what is taking place even in the recently. The United States is providing a brand-new system for supporting humanitarian efforts in Gaza and the United Nations Secretary-General Guterres states they will not work together with them. How can you discuss that? Do they actually appreciate individuals in Gaza?”
In spite of the diplomatic hostility Israel deals with at the UN, Danon stated not all hope is lost.
” Taking a look at the numbers, we can not win at the United Nations,” he confessed. “However I think in the ethical bulk and do not think the headings. We have a strong bond with the United States. We get the assistance of the United States every day at the Security Council. And we have other pals– President Milei of Argentina is a fantastic pal and we have strong assistance from Eastern European nations.”
Danon likewise highlighted a current see to Israel with 30 UN ambassadors.
” First we went to Auschwitz and March of the Living, and after that to Israel where we checked out neighborhoods in the South, and I felt that they comprehended much better what we are dealing with. Not everyone protests us.”
Closing his address, Danon worried the top priority of military triumph over global approval.
” When I speak to my coworkers in Jerusalem I inform them, do whatever is needed to win the war. Overlook the UN. I will deal with the Security Council. I will deal with the General Assembly, however you take the right choices that you need to take.”
” For Israel, after October 7, the high ground is more crucial than the ethical ground. We desire both constantly, however if we need to pick whether our soldiers will win the war or we get claps at the UN, I choose to win the war.”
