Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon told reporters in New York today (Oct 7) that October 7th marked Israel’s “worst nightmare realized.” Danon said, “Hamas terrorists invaded our communities in order to massacre, rape and kidnap our brothers and sisters. They showed no mercy, slaughtering men, women and children, ripping apart families and destroying entire communities.”
Danon also said, “the UN has failed in its most basic mandate to protect the innocent and condemn evil.”
Israeli Ambassador also highlighted the interception of a ballistic missile from Yemen aimed at central Israel earlier in the day. He warned Iran and its affiliates, stating, “we will decide when and where, but there will be a response.”
Danon reiterated Israel’s commitment to pursuing a ceasefire while simultaneously increasing pressure on Hamas.
Asked about a potential Israel’s response in a case of hostages’ release, Danon said it would be a “miracle” and it would end Israel’s “activities in Gaza.” He said, “it can happen tomorrow morning, if Hamas would release the hostages.” He added, “I’m not optimistic that all of a sudden, Hamas will decide to release the hostages.”
