Israel Withdraws from UN Human Rights Council Following U.S. Exit
Tel Aviv follows Washington in leaving the UN body
Israel has officially withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council, becoming the second country after the U.S. to abandon its membership in the organization.
Why Did Israel Make This Decision?
- Israel has long criticized the Council, accusing it of bias.
- The withdrawal is a logical step following the U.S. exit.
- Tel Aviv has repeatedly claimed that the Council unfairly targets Israel regarding its actions in Palestine.
What Are the Consequences?
- Israel will no longer participate in the Council’s work or abide by its decisions.
- This move could weaken the Council’s influence on human rights issues in the region.
- New diplomatic tensions between Israel and the UN are likely.
Israel’s departure highlights the deepening rift between Tel Aviv and international institutions, as well as its strengthening alliance with the United States.
