Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi (Blue and White) slammed the United Nations Security Council's rejection of the US proposal to extend the arms embargo on Iran.
In a statement, Ashkenazi said: "The rejection of the US proposal by some members of the Security Council is a mistake that will undoubtedly lead to the Middle East’s deterioration, which must be stopped."
"Israel condemns the decision of some members of the Security Council not to extend the arms embargo on Iran.

Time to drop UNSC funding. UNESCO and WHO are small potatoes.
The U.N. Security Council has no business imposing an arms embargo on any sovereign nation. That’s the kind of “New World Order” bullsh!t that should have ended before it began 30 years ago.
It began before the Spanish Civil War, under the League of Nations, and the fascists violated it with impunity.

Here it would be applied directly against the bad actor, rather than a “conflict”. But have it your way. Let Iran buy all the weapons they want, and give them to whomever they want. If outlaw states have guns, every international outlaw will be armed to the teeth.
Oh yeah, especially when two members are the main suppliers of military equipment to Iran. Russia and China are allying together with Iran to form a new Axis.
Welcome to 1938.
By your “logic” the UNSC should lift any arms embargo on North Korea as well.
Thanks Neville.
