Jerusalem, February 6, 2025: Israel has withdrawn from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), accusing the body of funding Hamas, the Palestinian militant group. This follows a similar move by the United States, and Israel’s withdrawal highlights its ongoing tensions with international organizations it views as biased, particularly in the context of its conflict with Palestinians.
Israel criticized the UNHRC for its focus on Israeli policies towards Palestinians, alleging that the council ignores human rights violations by other countries. The move is likely to increase Israel’s distance from the UNHRC, raising questions about the effectiveness and legitimacy of the council’s actions in addressing international human rights issues.
