Israeli ambassador confronts Iran at U.N. meeting

Speaking at an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council, Israeli Ambassador Gilad Erdan confronted his Iranian counterpart with footage of Iranian missiles being intercepted over the Al-Aqsa Mosque, a Muslim holy site located in Bethlehem. "Here, you can look at it," said Erdan, holding an iPad displaying the footage.

GILAD ERDAN: Israel is not the boy who cried wolf. We have been screaming from the rooftops for years, trying to wake up the international community, but to no avail. If only this council would have internalized my words, it would not have needed the bone-rattling explosions of last night's attack to wake it up.

Colleagues, last night, Iran proved again that it cares nothing for Islam or Muslims. The Iranian attack seriously injured Amina Al-Qazwini, a seven-year-old Bedouin girl in Israel. But look at this video that shows how Israel intercepts Iranian drones above the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Here, you can look at it. This is the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

No more shirking of responsibility. Iran has attacked Israel from its own sovereign territory, publicly and proudly. The mask is off.
