Danon: The rules of the game are changing

Israel’s UN Ambassador Danny Danon commented on Friday's vote at the UN Security Council.

He said the Kuwaiti resolution “was a hypocritical resolution that sought to condemn Israel while failing to even mention the terrorists of Hamas as the root cause of violence and unrest in our region. We thank the United States for vetoing the resolution and commend all the Council members who in refusing to support it, defended Israel’s right to defend our citizens.”

“The Security Council had the opportunity to adopt the resolution proposed by the United States that rightly named Hamas and sought to hold the terrorists accountable for their actions. Peace and stability will come to our region only when the international community is brave enough to call out the terrorists by name. By proposing this resolution, the U.S. made clear that the rules of the game are changing in the Security Council and that the double standard against Israel will not stand,” added Danon.
