Israel must reevaluate ties with UNESCO, recalled envoy says
Israel’s ambassador to UNESCO, Carmel Shama-Hacohen, says his recall to Israel is necessary to reconsider ties with the UN body in the wake of its anti-Israel declarations.
“This is a necessary step,” says Shama-Hacohen. “The motive is the need to rethink and reevaluate our relations with UNESCO given the persistent persecution of Israel and the Jewish people.”
