During a session of the UN Security Council devoted to the Middle East on Wednesday, Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon made his mark by addressing the Iranian people directly in Persian: “Don’t miss this opportunity. Act now The people of Israel are on your side.”
For the first time since October 7, thanks to the efforts of Ambassador Danon, a representative of the hostage families opened the session. Michael Levy, brother of Or Levy kidnapped at the Nova rave party, urged the Council to take concrete action: “Every day this Council fails to act, the message is clear: some lives are worth saving, Others no. Demand the release of the 100 hostages still held by Hamas.”
In his remarks, Danon highlighted ongoing regional upheaval: “The Middle East is no longer the same – we continue to dismantle Hamas, Hezbollah is no longer the cruel and dangerous organization it was, and the Assad regime has fallen.” He called on the Council to seize this “exceptional opportunity” to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and designate the Revolutionary Guards as a terrorist organization.
Addressing the Iranian people, the ambassador stressed: “We know the price of freedom and the courage it requires. Your struggle is for the millions who live under the oppressive Iranian regime. You have the power to restore freedom. greatness of the Iranian nation.”
