Israel’s Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, announced on Wednesday through the social network X (formerly Twitter) that the State of Israel joins the US and will not participate in the United Nations Human Rights Council not .
“Israel welcomes the decision of President Trump not to participate in the UN Human Rights Council,” Benjamín Netanyahu minister starts, who this Tuesday met with the US president.
Sa’ar assures that this council “has traditionally protected those who violate human rights” and that allows them to “escape from scrutiny” while, defends, “obsessively demonizes the only democracy of the Middle East”, in reference to Israel.
Israeli Foreign Minister insists that this “discrimination” is “clear” and emphasizes that the Human Rights Council “has focused on attacking a democratic country and propagating anti -Semitism, instead of promoting human rights”
Sa’ar continues his argument to leave the Human Rights Council claiming that Israel is “the only country” with a matter specifically dedicated to it and remembers that it has been the subject of more than 100 condemnatory resolutions, more than 20% of all resolutions approved by the Council.
“Israel will not accept this discrimination anymore!” He concludes his message.
Both countries accuse the “Discrimination” Council
The decision announced by the Israeli minister arrives after the US president Trump announced the country’s departure from the United Nations Human Rights Council, a measure that he already adopted in his first term, when the representative of his administration before his administration The UN, Nikki Haley, claimed that there was a “chronic prejudice against Israel.”
Haley said in 2018 that “the endless hostility towards Israel” It was proof that the Council acted based on political prejudices and not on human rights.
Trump and Netanyahu coincide in their criticisms and their displacements to the UN, and the two leaders have shown a very good harmony in other matters, since the first mandate of the Republican. At that time, Trump made several Arab countries recognize the state of Israel and sign the so -called Abraham agreements, with which they normalized their relations; In addition, the Republican moved the US Embassy of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, thus recognizing the Holy City is the capital of Israel, as the Jewish state claims.
Netanyahu has been able to travel to Washington without fear of being arrested in accordance with the arrest warrant for war and against humanity issued last November by the International Criminal Court (CPI) of The Hague, whose Washington jurisdiction does not recognize and whose decision He has strongly condemned.
Trump defends to move to the Palestinians of Gaza
This Tuesday, President Donald Trump announced before the Israeli prime minister that “the United States will take over the Gaza Strip” and defend again, as it did in January, that the Palestinians leave their land. “Instead, they can occupy a whole beautiful area with houses and security, and can live their lives in peace and harmony,” said the Republican before a smiling Netanyahu.
Trump has assured that he will rebuild the strip after “permanently” displaced its inhabitants and that it will make it the “Riviera de Oriente Medio”.

Hamas has responded by rejecting the statements: “We consider them a recipe to create chaos and tension in the region,” said Sami Abu Zuhri, a high leader of Hamas.
