Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, issued a stern warning to Iran and the Hezbollah terrorist organization against attempting to exploit Israel’s upcoming elections.

“Do not attempt to exploit Israel’s election period. Anyone who dares to attack us will face a devastating response,” Danon declared.

The warning comes as Israeli diplomats serving overseas, including Danon and his staff, cast their ballots early today, October 15, ahead of Israel’s general election on October 27.

According to Israel’s Central Elections Committee and Foreign Ministry, approximately 4,800 eligible Israeli voters across 99 diplomatic missions worldwide can participate in early voting, including qualifying diplomatic personnel, government representatives, and their spouses.
