Right here at the UN Headquarters, the UN General Assembly decided to expel the ICC prosecutor Karim Han. He thought he could cover up his criminal behavior by spreading lies against Israel. It didn’t help him and it will not help Mayor Mamdani who is doing exactly the same: Spreading hate and lies against Israel.
We have rights to the land. It’s not occupied land. This is our land. I can go back to the British Mandate for Palestine or the Balfour Declaration and basically we have legal rights to the land. We have historical rights to the land. We even have biblical rights to the land. So to call us settlers in our own land–it’s a disgrace, you know? But let’s look about the fact and about the future. The Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are not going anywhere. They will stay there with the Palestinian communities. The question what you do to allow both communities to prosper, to live in stability, in security. And I think all the talk we are now coming from the UK and other European countries–you know, applying sections or threatening the Israeli government–it’s not gonna actually support what’s happening on the ground. The bottom line: you have more than two million Palestinian living in Judea and Samaria. You have more than half a million Jews who live there–cities, communities–not the outpost you just show in your report. I’m talking about families, communities, big cities, and, and they will stay there. The question is what we do to make sure both populations live safely there.Danny Danon interview with Sky News on Israeli settlements (24 August 2026)
