"Discrimination towards Israel is evident: our nation is the sole one with its own distinct agenda item in the UNHRC." The minister highlighted that "Israel has faced over 100 condemnatory resolutions - which accounts for over 20% of all resolutions ever passed by the council, outpacing those against Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and Venezuela together." He stated that Israel will not accept such behavior any longer.

Mr. Trump justified his exit from the UN organizations by claiming their actions were not aligned with the interests of the United States.
