Remarks to the press by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia after UNSC meeting on the attacks against Israel

Q: Ambassador, do you think Israel will launch an attack in response?

A: You are addressing the wrong person to comment on it. You heard that Tehran said it is not intending to continue, so now it's the turn of the other side to stop, which we (and not just us) called for. But I mean, altogether, if you consider how the issue was discussed, it was scandalous and flagrant hypocrisy how these two issues are treated by our Anglo-Franco-Saxon colleagues.

Q: Do you think there will be a product of the Security Council? Any kind of a statement, anything?

A: Not that I know at the moment. I heard the statement by the US that they are preparing something. Let's see what they do.
