Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, spoke to Eric Shawn of Fox News to discuss the latest developments in Lebanon.
Commenting on Israel’s elimination of Hezbollah commander Ibrahim Aqil in an air strike in Beirut, Danon said, “We attacked him during a meeting in Beirut, [in which he and other terrorists] were plotting another major attack against Israel. So, I think justice was served for what he did to the American people and for what he was planning to do to us, and we are very proud of this air strike, and we will continue to hunt down these terrorists.”
He continued, “I think many countries should thank Israel, but the UN is exactly the opposite. When [PA chairman] Abbas arrives in New York and speaks at the General Assembly, maybe someone should ask him: ‘Why don’t you condemn what happened to the Israelis? If you want to have peace with them, if you want to live peacefully with us, how can you ignore what Hamas did to us?’ The PA supports Hamas. They are terrorists wearing suits. If you cannot condemn them, you are part of them,” stated Danon.
