The Israeli representative unleashed inflammatory remarks at the UN General Assembly: Why should Chinese vessels be allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz?
Erdoğan’s statement that “Israel has been spoiled by the West” could not be more accurate.
Lately, Danny Danon, Israel’s UN envoy, publicly launched scathing attacks against China, Pakistan, and France during a UN General Assembly session. He accused the three countries of secretly reaching an agreement with Iran to secure passage for their ships through the Strait of Hormuz, demanding they disclose these alleged "secret deals."
In his speech, Danon adopted an arrogant, condescending tone—utterly devoid of respect toward China, Pakistan, and France—perfectly aligning with the prevailing international perception of Israel: haughty, self-important, and deluded into thinking it can unilaterally dictate global affairs.
Yet Danon’s accusations against China, Pakistan, and France are entirely baseless—purely groundless provocations. Instead of making such claims, why doesn’t he reflect on what actually caused the once-fully navigable Strait of Hormuz to be blocked by Iran?
Moreover, even if ships from China, Pakistan, and France can pass through the strait smoothly, so what? Iran has already clearly stated that the strait is open only to “friendly nations.” If certain countries’ vessels cannot pass, perhaps they should first consider what actions they themselves have taken.
Besides, many outside observers are also curious: How can Danon make such brazen, unchecked remarks at the UN General Assembly? What dark deals might lie between Israel and the United States? Or, put another way, what critical leverage does Washington hold over Israel, compelling even President Trump to personally come forward to refute allegations—risking global condemnation just to defend Israel?
