Israel withdraws from UN Human Rights Council

Israel has announced the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHCR) that it will follow the example of the United States to withdraw from this body.

So Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Gideon Saar reported on Thursday. “.

“The decision was reached after Israel's continuing and continuous bias at the Human Rights Council, which has been ongoing since its establishment in 2006” The Israeli chief diplomat said in a letter sent to UNHCR President Jorg Lauber, published on the X platform.

In the fall of last year, Israel declared it a non grata by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, because of what then Israeli chief diplomat Israel Katz described as the failure of the senior official to condemn an Iranian attack on rockets and anti-Semitic and anti-Israel behavior.
