Israel ‘Quits’ UNHRC, But Was Never a Member? Diplomatic Move Sparks Confusion

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 confusion follows the U.S. departure from the UNHRC, amplifying scrutiny on the council’s treatment of Israel. #Israel #UNHRC #HumanRights #DiplomaticRow #InternationalRelations #UN #MiddleEast #Politics #ForeignPolicy #Controversy #BreakingNews #USPolitics #UnitedNations #IsraelPolicy #GlobalAffairs #Trump #GideonSaar #MediaWatch #IsraelWithdrawal #FactCheck #Peripheral ~HT.336~GR.122~
