Iran carried out an unprecedented air attack against Israel overnight from Saturday to Sunday. Israel estimated that it had “foiled” this attack by intercepting “99% of the shots” with the help of its allies, including the United States and France.
“Neither the region nor the world can afford more wars,” according to the UN Secretary General. In France, the Iranian ambassador is summoned by the Quai d'Orsay. Security will be increased outside Jewish schools and places of worship as Passover approaches. Israel and Iran accused each other at the United Nations on Sunday of being the main threat to peace in the Middle East, each calling on the Security Council to impose sanctions against their archenemy. ‘The mask has fallen. We must put on the gloves,’ said Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan during an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council convened at his initiative. The Council “must take urgent punitive measures to force this regime to stop the genocide against the people of Gaza”
