    FM Lapid: The vote doesn't change our position regarding the UNHRC, which is an extremist, morally-flawed, biased, and in its very essence, an anti-Israel body.

    Today (Thursday, April 7, 2022), Israel supported a UN General Assembly resolution to suspend Russia's membership on the UN Human Rights Council in the wake of the war in Ukraine, Russia's unjustified invasion of Ukraine, and the killing of innocent civilians. 
    Minister of Foreign Affairs Yair Lapid: "Today's vote doesn't change our position regarding the UN Human Rights Council, which is an extremist, morally-flawed, biased, and in its very essence, an anti-Israel body that has been exploited as a political tool since its establishment by the world's main human rights violators in order to, among other things, attack Israel."
