"For Israel, after Oct. 7, the High Ground Is More Important than the Moral Ground"
(Jerusalem Post) Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon on Monday rejected international calls to halt Israel's war against Hamas and accused the UN of moral failure in its response to Oct. 7. Responding to recent moves by the UK, France and Canada to consider sanctions on Israel if it continues military operations in Gaza, Danon declared, "These countries threatened Israel that if we will not stop the war, they will apply sanctions against us. I have news for those distinguished leaders who signed this declaration - we will not stop the war! We will not stop the war and leave behind 58 hostages. We will not stop the war and leave Hamas in power. They should understand it and support us." "For Israel, after Oct. 7, the high ground is more important than the moral ground. We want both always, but if we have to choose whether our soldiers will win the war or we get claps at the UN, I prefer to win the war."
