Israel’s announcement of quitting the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) has sparked controversy, as the country was never a member to begin with. Foreign Minister Gideon Saar accused the UNHRC of discrimination, but critics argue that Israel’s “withdrawal” is symbolic rather than official. The UNHRC has repeatedly condemned Israel, but without membership, can Israel truly “leave” the council? This contradiction raises questions about diplomatic strategy and international narratives. The confusion follows the U.S. departure from the UNHRC, amplifying scrutiny on the council’s treatment of Israel.

Israel has announced its withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, citing “discrimination” and “anti-Semitic bias.” Foreign Minister Gideon Saar criticized the council’s treatment of Israel, highlighting its disproportionate resolutions. The move follows the US exit, with Trump vowing to scrutinize UN agencies. Netanyahu backed the decision as tensions over Gaza and UNRWA involvement in Hamas attacks rise.

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the UN Human Rights Council and halt funding to the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). The decision follows accusations that UNRWA employees were complicit with Hamas in attacks on Israel, leading Trump to label the agency corrupt and anti-Israel. This move is part of Trump’s broader stance against institutions he believes undermine American interests and support terrorism.
