The UN Security Council convened today (Wednesday) to discuss the situation in Syria.'
Ambassador Danon said in his remarks: “Israel has an obligation to our Druze brothers and sisters. Show us that Syria is ready for real change using actions, not slogans.”
Danon added: "It is impossible to talk about a 'new Syria' when Druze, Christians and Alawites are being massacred. Change is proven by actions: stopping the killings…and protecting minorities.
At the end of the session, the Syrian Ambassador to the UN, Ibrahim Olabi, responded to Ambassador Danon and said: "We have already proven ourselves to Syrians, to our region and to our allies...is Israel doing the same?"
Ambassador Danon added: "Israel will not allow militias on its border."
