Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke Wednesday with UN Secretary-General António Guterres about Operation Northern Shield, and urged him to condemn what he called Hezbollah’s infringement of Israeli sovereignty.Israel and the United States are also promoting a UN draft resolution aimed at defining Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. If the proposal passes, the council would be able to impose individual sanctions on any person or body doing business with Hezbollah.
“Israel will expose Hezbollah’s tactics and the indifference of the Lebanese government, which has turned a blind eye to the construction of an underground terrorist city in its territory. To fight the Shiite organization, we must use measures to silence Hezbollah and damage its terrorist operation,” Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon said Wednesday.
