U.N. Security Council Meeting on Killing of Hamas Leader
2 hours, 1 minute"We must first stress the rank hypocrisy on display here today," said Israeli Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Brett Miller at the emergency U.N. Security Council meeting called by Iran over the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. The deputy ambassador referred to Iran as the "world's number one sponsor of terrorism," and called out Iran for using its proxies - Hamas and Hezbollah - to target Israel. Iranian Ambassador to the U.N. Amir Saeid Iravani called the killing of Ismail Haniyeh "cowardly" and urged the U.N. Security Council to take "immediate and effective action," but that Iran "reserves the inherent right to self-defense." U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood said the U.S. was not aware of "the apparent death" of Haniyeh in Iran and encouraged "members of this council, with direct influence over Iran, to increase pressure on it to stop escalating its proxy conflict against Israel and other actors."
