Netanyahu slams ‘UN’s absurdity’ over Israel
Netanyahu says that despite Israel’s improved standing in the world, the UN continues to attack the Jewish state.
Noting that the World Health Organization adopted a Syrian-sponsored resolution criticizing Israel, Netanyahu says: “As John McEnroe would say, You cannot be serious.”
“Is there no limit the UN’s absurdity?” he asks.
Netanyahu goes on to say that the UNESCO decision to declare the Tomb of the Patriarchs a Palestinian heritage site is “worse than fake news. That’s fake history.”
“There are signs of positive change even at the United Nations,” he says of the UN secretary general saying that denying Israel’s right to exist is anti-Semitism. “But for many years, the epicenter of anti-Semitism has been here, in UN.”
