Katz denounces UN decision to upgrade Palestinians’ status as ‘prize for Hamas’
Foreign Minister Israel Katz calls a decision by the United Nations General Assembly to upgrade the status of Palestinians in the UN a “prize for Hamas,” in a statement released by his office.
“The absurd decision taken today at the UN General Assembly highlights the structural bias of the UN and the reasons why, under the leadership of UN Secretary-General [Antonio] Guterres, it has turned itself into an irrelevant institution,” Katz says.
