Venezuela elected to Human Rights Council
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVenezuela is elected to the UN Human Rights Council, in a move slammed by Israel as “absurd.”
“There is no limit to the absurdity — Venezuela is the greatest ally of Iran and North Korea,” says Israeli envoy to the UN Danny Danon, according to a Hebrew statement. “You should remember this day the next time you hear that the council condemned Israel. When a state like this — that oppresses its citizens with violence, limits freedom of the press for journalists and jails those opposed to the regime — sits on the council, it isn’t surprising that the council chooses to condemn Israel more than any other country in the world.”
