The UN Security Council is scheduled to meet next Wednesday – at the request of the US – to discuss Hezbollah’s cross-border attack tunnels, Israel’s ambassador Danny Danon said on Thursday.

That meeting is to be an “open” session. Danon will present Israeli material and findings related to the violation of its sovereignty by the tunnels, and argue that this is a blatant violation of UN Security Council resolution 1701.

Danon said that Israel has no expectation that the Security Council will pass a resolution condemning Hezbollah, but that one of the aims of the meeting is to get the council to define Hezbollah as a terrorist organization. A draft resolution on this matter is being prepared.
