In a debate between Novak and UN Ambassador Danny Danon, Danon called on the Council to "issue a clear and unequivocal condemnation of the barbaric terrorist organization."
"It is a disgrace that it has taken the Council 11 months and the brutal execution of six hostages by Hamas terrorists to finally convene this discussion," he added.
In a letter to the UNSC, Israel's Ambassador to the UN demanded the condemnation of Hezbollah and the implementation of resolution 1701, disarming Hezbollah in southern Lebanon.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon told the rest of the UNSC that "the days when Jewish blood was spilled without a response are over."
Danny Danon said Israel must take the UN seriously, because the Palestinians are tremendously adept at using it to try to turn Israel into a pariah state akin to South Africa’s status amid apartheid.
According to Danon, Netanyahu is scheduled to speak to the General Assembly on either September 26 or 27.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Israel Katz both announced Danon’s return to the UN, where he previously served as the country’s ambassador from 2015 to 2020.
