The outgoing ambassador of Israel to UNGilad Erdan, said that the silence of the United Nations in the face of Iranian threats to attack the Israel it resembles the global silence, the time when the Nazis were finalizing their plans for the Holocaust.

In his farewell speech in New York, Erdan said: “Iran and its proxies are threatening to attack us from every direction. Those who try to hurt us need to know that we will not back down. They must know that they will pay a heavy price and our long arm will reach them everywhere.”

“Even today, as Iran openly threatens to ‘punish Israel’, the UN is silent once again. Iran took this silence as a green light to continue its preparations to attack millions of Israelis. Millions waiting right now,” he said.

“Today’s UN silence on Iran is reminiscent of the global silence after the Wannasee Conference in 1942, when the Nazi leadership decided on the final solution. They understood this silence as a green light to kill millions of Jews,” he added.

Erdan defended his work within the “hypocritical” organization, particularly during the Israel-Hamas war.

“I had the enormous privilege of representing Israel at the United Nations. I woke up every morning with a clear mission, to prove that Israel is a moral state, a country that loves life and peace, a country that wants to protect its citizens, like any other country and a state with the best and most moral army in the world, the IDF,” he noted.

“I did everything I could to raise awareness about the horrors of October 7th, about our hostages… and the sexual violence we saw against Israeli women. I did it in every possible way and with all the means at my disposal, yes. It was a way to raise awareness, to shock, to shout for those who can’t,” he said.
