(Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser)
 
Israel thanks President Trump, Secretary Pompeo and Ambassador Haley for their courageous decision against the hypocrisy and the lies of the so-called UN Human Rights Council.
 
For years, the UNHRC has proven to be a biased, hostile, anti-Israel organization that has betrayed its mission of protecting human rights.
 
Instead of dealing with regimes that systematically violate human rights, the UNHRC obsessively focuses on Israel, the one genuine democracy in the Middle East.
 
The US decision to leave this prejudiced body is an unequivocal statement that enough is enough.
 
Israel welcomes the American announcement.
