According to the report, the officer’s mission is to assist Israel’s UN mission in strengthening legitimacy for IDF operations in Gaza.
The man sitting behind Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, is none other than an IDF officer with the rank of captain who joined the Israeli delegation team in a special capacity.
The IDF attaché to the UN was appointed at the request of the Foreign Ministry to assist in public diplomacy efforts and to strengthen legitimacy for IDF operations in Gaza.
A few days ago, Israel’s UN mission published a photo of Ambassador Danon at the UN Security Council, speaking at the assembly, but in this photo, a captain can be seen sitting behind Ambassador Danon.
