Israel's New Ambassador to UN Issues Stark Warning Over Hezbollah, Iran
Ambassador Gilad Erdan Urges Action Against Iranian-Backed Terror Group
Urgent Call for International Community to Hold Iran Accountable
Israel's newly appointed ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, has issued a stark warning to the international community over the growing threat posed by Hezbollah, a Lebanon-based terrorist group backed by Iran.
In a speech before the UN Security Council, Erdan accused Hezbollah of operating with impunity in Lebanon and using the country as a base for attacks against Israel.
Erdan specifically highlighted the group's recent acquisition of precision-guided missiles, which he said posed a significant threat to civilians in Israel.
Inaction by Iran and the International Community Criticized
Erdan also criticized Iran for its continued support of Hezbollah and its failure to take action to rein in the group's activities.
He urged the international community to hold Iran accountable for its role in fueling terrorism in the region.
Erdan's warning comes amid growing concerns about the potential for a new conflict between Israel and Hezbollah. In recent months, tensions between the two sides have escalated, with Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel and Israel responding with airstrikes.
Call for International Action
In his speech, Erdan called on the international community to take urgent action to address the threat posed by Hezbollah.
He proposed a number of steps, including:
- Imposing additional sanctions on Hezbollah and its supporters
- Providing military assistance to Lebanon to help the country combat Hezbollah
- Pressuring Iran to cease its support for Hezbollah
Erdan's warning is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by Hezbollah and the need for international action to address the group's activities.
