The Israeli representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, has sent an “urgent letter” to the president of the Council requesting a meeting and designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
The UN Security Council will hold this Sunday afternoon, at the request of Israel, an extraordinary meeting to address the situation in the Middle East after the Iranian launch of dozens of drones against Israeli territory, the current presidency of this body has announced. .
The announcement of the meeting comes after the Israeli representative to the UN, Gilad Erdan, sent an “urgent letter” to the president of the Council requesting an emergency meeting and demanding condemnation of Iran’s attack against Israel, as well as the designation of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization.
Erdan has defended in the letter that “the time has come for the Security Council to adopt concrete measures against the Iranian threat”, alleging that it not only represents “a flagrant violation of Israel’s sovereignty”, but also “violates the right international law and Security Council resolutions”.
“The Iranian attack is a serious threat to world peace and security and I hope that the Council will use all means to take concrete measures against Iran,” the Israeli ambassador added on the X social network.
