Israel Calls on UN to Condemn Attacks on Diplomats
(Jerusalem Post) In a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the UN Security Council, Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor on Thursday called upon the international community to condemn the recent terrorist attacks against Israeli diplomats around the world. Prosor requested that a strong message be transmitted to Iran, who, he said, is directly responsible for the bomb attacks in Georgia and India earlier in the week, as well as explosions in Thailand that were aimed at Israeli targets. "The Security Council must take practical steps against Iran, Hizbullah and terrorist infrastructures that collaborate with them across the world," Prosor wrote. Israel's move is reminiscent of action Saudi Arabia initiated in November after the U.S. uncovered an Iranian plot to kill Riyadh's envoy to Washington. The UN General Assembly passed a resolution by a vote of 106-9 deploring the plot.
