Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon on Wednesday warned that the Iranian ayatollah regime threatens world peace with its acts of global terrorism and ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons. “The Islamic regime of Iran is a danger to the entire world. The recent report from the International Atomic Energy Agency on Iran’s nuclear progression, alongside the recent letter from the UK, France and Germany, highlighting Iran’s, and I quote, ‘significant non compliance,’ were cries for immediate action,” Danon argued. “This is not about a hypothetical future.

US officials have announced that they “indefinitely postpone” the presentation of the final “take it or leave it” ceasefire-prisoner swap deal, American media reported. According to the news outlet, the latest obstacle is Hamas’ “abrupt introduction” of its demand that Israel release high-profile terrorists even in exchange for humanitarian prisoners. The report quoted a senior administration official who said that last week, as negotiators from the US, Qatar, and Egypt worked through the final details of the “bridging proposal,” Hamas said that civilian hostages would only be released in exchange for terrorists serving life sentences and who have blood on…
