Deputy Foreign Minister, Danny Ayalon said, in an interview with Arutz Sheva Hebrew Television Wednesday, that "today there is a rule of tyrannies in the U.N. and the undemocratic countries, which are the majority, automatically vote against Israel. We can not overcome the numbers, but we can form a moral majority of countries that vote with Israel against this horrifying report.”

Ayalon added that, "The report itself is not only against Israel but against all democratic countries that seek peace and against all the countries dealing today with the terrible terrorism that threatens the world. So it is reasonable that countries that share our universal values should vote for us because in the end, if they vote against us, they are simply cutting off the branch on which they sit."
