This Sunday the entire international community agreed with UNduring an emergency meeting Security Advisor requested Israel, calling to avoid escalation in the Middle East, to which even Iran.
However Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdanresponded that no one had the right to ask his country to “stand by” following the drone and missile attack launched Saturday night by Iran against Israel and the territories it occupies in Palestine and Syria, and added: “We are a nation of lions.”
There were high hopes for the tone that Iran and Israel would use at the Security Council, the only place in the world where representatives of the two countries, which do not have diplomatic relations, sit just meters apart.
Both Erdan and RIranian Representative Said Iravani They accused themselves of being the main protagonists in regional destabilization. According to the Israelis, Iran filled the region with “proxies” (delegated agents) who have been relentlessly seeking its destruction ever since. YemenLebanon or Syria through allied militias.
Although Iravani recalled the numerous Security Council resolutions ignored Israel in the Palestinian conflict or the powers that country gives itself to intervene extraterritorially, such as when on April 1 it attacked Iranian Consulate in Damascusresulting in the death of 13 people (seven of them Iranians) without a reaction from the international community, the Iranian lamented.
US participation The latest attack, recognized by Washington and Israel as an interception of missiles launched from Iran, has raised concerns about a possible escalation of the conflict given the United States’ close alliance with Israel.
Indeed, the Israeli ambassador directly thanked the United States: “I want to take this opportunity to thank the United States and our allies – he did not name others – for standing by our side and protecting us from the ayatollahs’ regime.” – he said.
Minutes later, the Iranian representative did not shy away from the topic, but avoided a belligerent tone: his country, he said, “does not intend to enter into conflict with the United States in the region” and has demonstrated “a commitment to peace, as well as restraint” after how they will prove US involvement in intercepting Iranian drones and missiles.
Now, if the United States goes ahead and launches an operation against Iranian citizens or interests, “we will use our inalienable right of reply proportionately,” the diplomat warned.
Requests to avoid escalation came from all quarters, from Secretary-General António Guterres, who asked to intervene in this extraordinary session on Sunday, to RussiaChina or the US tend to oppose almost everything.
Guterres said that “neither the region nor the world can afford another war” and insisted three times on the “shared responsibility” that the international community must avoid escalation between Iran and Israel, achieve ceasefire in Gazasecure the release of hostages held by Hamas and prevent the escalation of violence in West Bank.
The Russian ambassador, who also called for calm, did not fail to highlight the “hypocrisy and double standards (of the Security Council), which are almost embarrassing to look at”, given the fact that the attack on Israel deserves an urgent meeting.. even on Sunday, but this did not happen. when Russia requested a similar one after Israel bombed the consulate in Damascus.
The elephant in the room today was called War in the Gaza Strip: When all countries held their breath in anticipation of a possible new war, there was a danger of forgetting the one that has actually been going on in the Palestinian strip for six months now.
However, most of the speakers – with the exception of the Israelis – did not forget about this and called for steps to achieve an immediate ceasefire, which has even been requested by the US and UK, Israel’s staunch allies, despite the fact that the country refuses any type of truce.
