Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, delivered a strong speech to the Security Council, detailing the horrors of the Hamas attack on October 7 and demanding concrete action against the terrorist organization. During the discussion, Danon presented the harrowing story of the Taasa family from Nativ Ha'asara, while simultaneously issuing a clear warning to Iran and Hezbollah against attempting to exploit Israel's election period for attacks.

Danon recounted the final moments of Gil Taasa, who was killed when he jumped on a grenade thrown by Hamas terrorists to save his sons, Koren and Shai. The ambassador described how the terrorists led the wounded children to their kitchen, with one of them drinking from the refrigerator before their eyes. The family's eldest son, Or Taasa, was also murdered.

The ambassador criticized the Security Council for its lack of significant measures against Hamas, stating that three years after the attack, the organization continues to possess weaponry, rebuild its strength, and prepare for further terror operations. Danon called for sanctions and guarantees that Hamas's military capabilities would be dismantled.

Furthermore, Danon warned Iran and Hezbollah that any attempt to harm Israel during or after the election period would be met with a severe military response. He conveyed that Israel will not allow its enemies to exploit its internal political situation to undermine its security.

Danon also addressed an attempted attack on a Flydubai flight to Israel, cautioning against the expansion of regional threats. Additionally, he criticized the Palestinian Authority for postponing elections and continuing incitement in the education system.
