Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, told the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York on Sunday, "Israel is a miracle that should not be taken for granted and we should be optimistic in light of what we have accomplished in 70 years."

Danon also said, "It is not obvious that President Trump may arrive in Israel again two weeks from now. We are not in the same place we were when President Obama decided to promote a resolution condemning Israel at the UN."
