Israel envoy: ‘Embarrassing’ that UN chief omitted Israel’s normalization deals
Israel’s new ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, is criticizing the UN’s secretary general for failing to mention the Israel-UAE and Israel-Bahrain normalization deals in his opening remarks at the General Assembly.
Antonio Gutteres called for a global ceasefire, “but he didn’t mention one word about the peace deals that Israel signed,” tweets Erdan. “It’s embarrassing and says everything about the United Nations.”
He tweets the comments with a photo of himself in the GA hall, wearing a Covid facemask with the Israeli, Emirati and Bahraini flags.
