Danon demanded that the UNSC ensure that UNIFIL “work in a much more robust and effective way to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1701 and the recent ceasefire understandings.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon wrote a letter to the UN Security Council urging them not to repeat past mistakes by allowing Hezbollah to violate the ceasefire agreement.
Danon called on the UNSC to monitor the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), which previously failed to enforce the ceasefire in Lebanon and permitted Hezbollah to commit multiple violations.
Danon wrote, “Israel alerted this esteemed Council for years on the severe breaches of Resolution 1701 and the ensuing risks posed to regional security” long before October 8, 2023, when Hezbollah began firing missiles into Israel.
