Israel to hold anti-BDS summit at UN headquarters
Israel’s UN mission will host a conference aimed at combating the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement at the UN headquarters later today.
The mission says some 2,000 people are expected to attend the summit at the UN General Assembly, which will focus on battling attempts to pressure Israel over its perceived ill-treatment of the Palestinians.
The event aims at “a remarkable show of support for the Jewish state at the UN,” a statement says.
Last May, some 2,000 people attended the first-ever anti-BDS conference at the UN headquarters.
