Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN Apologizes to Ambassador Danny Danon

Venezuelan Ambassador to the UN Rafael Ramirez expressed his apology to Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon following his comments last week at the UN Security Council where he asked if "Israel wants a final solution to the Palestinians?"

On Wednesday, Ramirez met with Edmund Mulet, the UN Secretary General's chief of staff, and said he regretted his language and apologized to Danny Danon personally.

Rafael Ramirez compared Israel to the Nazis.

“What is Israel planning to do with the Palestinians?” asked Venezuela’s UN Ambassador Rafael Ramirez. “Do the Israelis want the Palestinians to disappear? Is Israel preparing a ‘final solution’ for the Palestinians similar to that which was perpetrated against them?”when he asked "Israel wants a final solution to the Palestinians?"
