(Worthy News) – Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced that Israel will withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), following the Trump Administrations withdrawal from the Council this past Tuesday . Saar accused the council of systematic bias against Israel while neglecting real human rights issues worldwide.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Gideon Sa’ar accused the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) of enabling human rights abusers by “allowing them to hide from scrutiny, and instead obsessively demonizing the one democracy in the Middle East – Israel.”
He further criticized the council for “attacking a democratic country and propagating antisemitism, instead of promoting human rights.”
“The discrimination against us is clear: In the UNHRC, Israel is the only country with an agenda item dedicated solely to it. Israel has been subjected to over 100 condemnatory resolutions, over 20% of all resolutions ever passed in the Council – more than against Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela combined,” Sa’ar stated.
Sa’ar highlighted the disproportionate targeting of Israel by the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), noting that over 100 resolutions—more than 20% of all passed—have been directed at Israel, exceeding those against Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela combined. Additionally, Israel is the only nation with a dedicated agenda item, which Sa’ar sees as clear proof of institutional bias.
By withdrawing from the UNHRC, Israel is making a strong diplomatic statement against what it views as a fundamentally prejudiced body. Sa’ar’s decision underscores a broader effort to challenge what Israel perceives as systemic discrimination within international institutions.
