UN human rights defenders offended Israel
This decision may be related to the initiative of the Council to establish a special commission to investigate whether the rights of Palestinians are not infringing Jewish settlers in the West Bank. Jordan. Formerly, Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli Prime Minister, has already called this Council decision “shameful.” The Deputy Minister of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticized the UN decision: “What is the point of cooperating with the mission, the conclusions of which were made in advance?”
And Silvan Shalom, the head of the foreign affairs agency, said that the Council is “worse than the UN General Assembly.” Shalom believes that, as long as “this structure consists of states hostile to Israel, it is clear to us initially what the outcome of their investigation will be.” According to Shalom, if the judicial verdict is known in advance, there is no point in cooperating with the court. Shalom also said that Tel Aviv does not intend to put up with the brazen attempts of the Palestinian autonomy to act against Israel.

Thus, this organization supported the independence of Palestine - despite the fact that the United States threatened to stop funding UNESCO with a positive decision on the Palestinian application. In the United States in such cases, the words with the case do not diverge: payment in the amount of 60 million. $ Was canceled. And yet, one hundred and seven members of UNESCO voted for the admission of Palestine to the ranks of the organization. Fourteen members opposed and 52 states abstained.

And for several decades, almost three hundred thousand Israelis have lived in settlements built in the West Bank. Palestine is seeking the restoration of territory in its historical borders, but there has been no progress in this regard. Israel claims that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of the Jewish state, and the Palestinians claim this city as theirs. Russia, like the Soviet Union in its time, stands for an independent Palestine.
