US opposes UN vote on human rights in West Bank
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US says it opposes the UN Human Rights Council debate today on human rights violations in the West Bank.
A statement from the State Department says the resolution is “yet another reminder of that body’s longstanding bias against Israel,” and its disproportionate focus on Israel “is among the largest threats to the credibility of the Council.”
In a letter reported on last week, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US will not continue participating in the council unless the UN rights agency undergoes “considerable reform.”
