Israel's ambassador to the UN Danny Danon spoke at the emergency discussion in the UN Security Council, where he attacked the Iranian representative. "How dare a representative of a regime that tries to assassinate heads of state, funds global terrorism and calls for the destruction of states, demand mercy from this Council?" he said. "You are not a victim. You are not a diplomat. You are a wolf disguised as a diplomat, and we are done pretending the situation is otherwise." He sharply criticized UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who "in the middle of calls for 'death to America' and 'death to Israel,' calls for 'restraint.' This is not balance, it is moral pretense that allows Iran to advance."
