Comments to the media by Danny Danon, Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, on the situation in the Middle East.
------------------------
Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon today (1 Oct) told reporters in New York that Israel’s response to a barrage of ballistic missiles launched by Iran on Israeli territory, “will be noticed” and “it will be painful.”
Danon said, “the Islamic regime in Iran has now shown the world its true face. They are a terrorist state. For years they have armed terrorist and rogue states. They are responsible for the death of innocent civilians across the globe.”
Until now, he said, “they have hidden behind proxies, but the mask has dropped. They have exposed themselves directly, launching hundreds of missiles into civilian areas. Their evil is now laid bare for all to see.”
The Israeli diplomat vowed to “defend our people.” He said, “we will act. Iran will soon feel the consequences of their actions.”
Danon expressed disappointment at Secretary-General António Guterres’ message issued after the Iranian attacks calling for de-escalation and stressing the need for a ceasefire.
He said, “we have no desire for war or escalation. But we cannot sit idly by when our civilians are being attacked in such manner.”
Asked about specific plans for Israel's response, he said, “we will decide about when and how we will respond” an added, “the people of Iran who are watching us understand that it's not against the Iranian people. It's against the radical regime that dragged the Iranian people into this situation.”
