Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon wrote to Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the Security Council to warn of a "dangerous effort by Palestinian leaders to create conflict by orchestrating a series of mass confrontations."
The Israeli armed forces chief has warned that forces at the Gaza border with Israel were ready to respond if the border fence is breached.
"In light of the Palestinians’ organized planned provocation for the coming weeks, I reiterate Israel's right to defend its sovereignty and protect its citizens," Danon wrote.
