Israel's U.N. Ambassador has issued a warning to Iran, stating that any potential aggression during the Trump transition period would be a mistake. This comes in response to Iranian Foreign Minister's vow to retaliate against Israel for recent airstrikes.
Ambassador Danon emphasized Israel's capabilities and readiness to respond to any threats from Iran. He advised Iran against challenging Israel, highlighting the vulnerability of Iranian targets.
He also expressed the belief that the U.S. must take a strong stance against Iran's aggression, as both countries face common enemies such as Hezbollah and Hamas.
Amidst these tensions, the U.S. vetoed a draft resolution at the U.N. Security Council that called for an immediate cease-fire in Israel without addressing the release of hostages held by Hamas.
Israel praised the U.S. for its support and emphasized the importance of standing together against common adversaries. Ambassador Danon reiterated Israel's commitment to bringing all hostages back home.
