Israel’s ambassador to the UN will tell the Security Council that the “diplomatic window is closing” to condemn and contain Hezbollah and Iran, according to the Israeli mission to the United Nations.
The Security Council is due to meet later on Friday (20) for an emergency discussion on “recent developments in Lebanon”.
Danny Danon will say that “the Security Council must strongly condemn Iran and Hezbollah; the time has come to act — words are not enough.”
He is also expected to point out that for too long, UN resolutions have been ignored, citing resolution 1701, which stipulates that Hezbollah forces must withdraw north of the Litani River, and that only the Lebanese military must maintain positions in the border area.
“It is time for Hezbollah and Iran to bear the severe consequences for their actions. Hezbollah must be disarmed and Iran must be held accountable for destabilizing the region,” Danon will tell the meeting, according to the Israeli UN mission.
