In a charged speech before the U.N. Security Council on Thursday, Israel’s newly appointed ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, accused Palestinian representative Riyad Mansour of sympathizing with Hamas and undermining peace efforts. Danon, who replaced Gilad Erdan in the diplomatic role earlier this month, launched a blistering attack on Mansour, calling him a “terrorist in a suit” for his refusal to condemn Hamas.
“You have spent two decades in this place proposing resolutions which stir chaos, sow division, and avoid any hope,” Danon said during. “You have accomplished absolutely nothing.”
Danon’s remarks followed a series of speeches delivered by Mansour since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict on October 7. According to Danon, despite having given “hundreds of speeches,” Mansour has yet to utter “anything even resembling a condemnation of Hamas.” Danon further pressed Mansour on his representation at the U.N., asking, “Who do you represent here today? Do you represent the Hamas terror organization?”
Concluding his address, Danon made a direct demand. “Mr. Mansour, if you cannot condemn them, you are one of them,” he said. “You do not represent the Palestinian people. Mr. Mansour, you are a terrorist in a suit. I demand you to condemn Hamas. If you do not condemn them, you are one of them.”

So he should start negotiating with him. Diplomats don’t take hostages, murder, rape, etc. – Terrorists do. If Israel wants peace, it needs to deal with Palestinians and their elected leadership.
Way to go, Mr. Ambassador! Sadly, you’re lecturing the organization for the hearing impaired! When you speak, they’re all deaf!
Danon had been a fabulous ambassador in the past
Wow !! He hit the nail on it’s head.
Thats about the jist of it
Danny Danon to Riyad Mansou:
“If the suit fits..”
@akuperma: the palestinians haven’t held an election since 2005 – mahmoud abbas is in the 20th year of his 4-year term. in what sense do you refer to that as “elected”? there’s a deafening silence when it comes to denouncing terrorism, one of the key commitments of the plo when signing the oslo agreements, which form the only basis for *any* legitimacy on the palestinian side. yes, they *are* unreformed terrorists, and no, they have *no* interest in negotiations.
He called the Ishmaelite a “terrorist in a suit”. And the Zionists’ attacks, forced impoverishment, etc. against the chareidi Jews under Zionist control is any better? What an idol.
Time to expel the wicked UN not just from NYC or NYS, but from the entire United States of America, and erect a nice massive block of apartments on what shall now be the former site of this wicked evil UN.
Why does that Arab have a sign in front of him saying “State of Palestine”? There is no State of Palestine. The UN should not allow this.
good voice…….
