Danny Danon, Israel’s Ambassador the United Nations and eleven of his counterparts from around the world toured Israel’s borders and received security briefings on Tuesday. The delegation flew in helicopters along the country's ‘narrow waistline' and visited Kibbutz Nahal Oz and Sderot to hear about life under the threat of rocket fire and tunnel attacks in southern Israel.
The group then flew north to Ziv (Sieff) Hospital in Tzfat to observe firsthand the humanitarian and medical aid offered by Israel to refugees from Syria's civil war. Later in the day, the ambassadors were briefed at the Lebanese border on the threats Israel faces along its northern frontier. The delegation of ambassadors visiting Israel this week is organized by the American Jewish Committee’s Project Interchange in coordination with the Israeli Mission to the UN.
