Israel’s Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said, “no nation in the world would give up strategic land to its most dangerous enemy.”
“Don’t be misguided by thinking that one day this land will be yours,” Jaafari said, addressing Israel. If the US wanted to be nice to Israel, why not give it one or two of its 50 states, he suggested. “Give Israel a couple of [US] states if this administration really wants Israeli support.”
“The acquisition of territory by force is illegal under international law, any declaration to unilaterally modify any border goes against an international order based on UN rules and the UN charter,” he said. “We would reiterate our serious concerns regarding the broader consequences of the recognition of the an illegal annexation, in particular in this region.” The council must oppose such unilateral acts, the Belgian envoy added.
