Israel's new ambassador issues stark warning to UN over Hezbollah, Iran inaction

Danny Danon warned the UN Security Council needs to implement resolution to stop Hezbollah, or Israel will be forced to

FIRST ON FOX: The new Israeli ambassador to the United Nations has issued a stern warning to the international body amid escalating tensions with Hezbollah and concerns that Iran could be close to obtaining a nuclear weapon.

Ambassador Danny Danon told Fox News Digital that Security Council Resolution 1701 "said very clearly that there would be no military force in southern Lebanon besides the Lebanese military, but look what happened since 2006."

"Hezbollah took over, they controlled the region, and they made this area a hub for terrorism with tens of thousands of rockets that, unfortunately, in the last few months, we felt the capabilities," he argued. "I think if the U.N. is not capable of implementing the resolution, we will have to implement the resolution and push Hezbollah away from our community in the north."

Part of tackling the various groups in the Middle East – such as Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Houthis in Yemen – requires dealing with Iran.

"I think it’s about time that not only Israel will deal with Iran, but the Western democracies will realize that they have to put pressure on Iran, they have to be active in order to prevent Iran from achieving nuclear capabilities," he said.

"We thought on April 14 when they sent hundreds of projectiles into Israel and their intentions … imagine they had nuclear capabilities," Danon noted. "We will not wait for that day. We will not allow them to achieve nuclear capabilities."

“We will not allow them (Iran) to achieve nuclear capabilities.”

I think Israel just said something important that nations should listen to.

Unless it is supposed Israel is just jokin’ around.

I’ve often wondered - could I bring a few pairs of jeans, tennis shoes, shirts and my phones?

There’s probably a few other things I’d want to bring - LOL

Guess an airline flight is out.

Some days........

Easy peasey solution: Nuke Iran now and then apologize for doing that forever.
