“Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese, not to the Iranians”

Israel’s UN ambassador, Danny Danon, surprised the Lebanese representative by addressing the Lebanese people in Arabic, saying: “Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese, not to the Iranians.”

“Israel has no desire to be in Southern Lebanon. Our goal is to protect our people, not to occupy Lebanese territory. But to prevent this from happening again, the council must ensure the right mechanisms are in place for the Lebanese Army and UNIFIL meets their obligations. I wish to address the Lebanese representative, mister Rasham. I have listened to your words and condemnations very carefully.

But the truth is you should be sitting next to me, not next to the Iranian representative. Because whether you can admit it or not, Israel, Lebanon, and the free world are on the same side against the Islamic regime of Iran. All of us should declare, shoulder to shoulder, that Iran must keep its blood stained hands off Lebanon. And I would like to to approach the the Lebanese people. I will do it in Arabic.

Lebanon belongs to the Lebanese, not to the Iranians.”
