​On Tuesday, following the rocket strikes from Gaza, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon demanded the UN Security Council condemn the attacks into Israel.

“These rocket attacks from terrorist organizations threaten the lives of nine million civilians. Instead of calling on all parties to exercise restraint, we expect the UNSC to clearly and unequivocally condemn the terrorists responsible. It is time for the international community to realize that its silence is a prize for terrorism."

Danon added that "Israel is not interested in escalation but will counter its campaign against terrorism with determination and strength."
