Envoy: Harming Israel is UN Human Rights body’s ‘raison d’etre’

Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon is condemning the UN Human Rights Council debate on Israeli abuses of Palestinians in the West Bank, calling on the council to “put an end to the bias in this absurd body.”

“The UN Human Rights Council has turned harming Israel into its raison d’etre. The time has come to end to this shameful, and even embarrassing, chapter in the history of the UN,” Danon says.

Danon welcomes the US decision to boycott the session.
