Israel is set to deliver a strong condemnation of Iran at the United Nations, accusing Tehran of rebuilding its missile program and funding Hezbollah. Danny Danon, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, will present Iran as a global threat during an annual UN General Assembly discussion on human rights in New York. He plans to highlight Iran's alleged transfer of $200 million to the terrorist organization Hezbollah.
Danon's address will also focus on Iran's internal human rights record, citing the execution of 29 civilians and the arbitrary imprisonment of 6,000 others. Furthermore, he intends to accuse Iran of disrupting and blocking freedom of navigation for ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
