    ​After a week of intensive debate, the Security Council today released a statement responding to the January 28 attack in which Hezbollah attacked and killed two Israel soldiers and injured seven others.  The statement notably fails to condemn Hezbollah or note that IDF soldiers were killed. Instead, it only refers to the Spanish peacekeeper who was killed in the ensuing crossfire. 

    Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Ron Prosor said: “The Security Council seems to think that some lives have more value than others.  It’s barely a month since world leaders marched together to oppose radical extremism and affirm the sanctity of life.  Now these same countries sit quietly as the world’s autocrats indulge a dangerous terrorist group.  Some members of the Council seem to think that they can operate with utter impunity, providing Iran and Syria with air defense and pandering to the whims of internationally recognized terrorist groups.”
