Former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon has returned to Israel after representing the Jewish State for nearly five years in the halls of the UN.
Danon had to spend 14 days in quarantine upon returning to Israel from New York due to coronavirus restrictions. "It wasn't easy, but it's great to be in Israel," he said.
Summing up his time at the UN, Danon told Arutz Sheva that "the UN is a very hostile place with a lot of hypocrisy against Israel, but still it's an important organization and we have to fight from the inside. I proved that you can actually win inside the halls of the UN. I was elected to very important positions in the General Assembly, as the Vice President of the General Assembly, the first Israeli ever to chair a UN committee. You can win at the UN, but you have to fight day and night."
Danon said that the UN's energies can be used to Israel's benefit and not just to attack the Jewish State. "It's a challenge, but, for example, together with [former US Ambassador to the UN] Nikki Haley, we decided to put a resolution against Hamas in the General Assembly. And all of a sudden, allof the capitals had to decide whether they are voting with us against Hamas or not. And for like a week, that was the main issue at the UN. So you need to think creatively about controlling the agenda, controlling the narrative, and I did it also with bringing Israeli culture, Israeli food, Judaism into the UN. I used Judaism to bring ambassadors closer to Israel."

Actually Israel has learned how to manipulate to their advantage the great Sunni-Shi’ite divide. Who ten years ago would have thought that the UAE, facing the common enemy Shi’ite Iran, would regognize Israel? Also BTW allow Israeli F35s to refuel and rearm at its remote airfields. Good job indeed Ambassador Danon.
I think you’ll see some more countries recognizing Israel soon...
