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

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 UNHRC has repeatedly condemned Israel, but without membership, can Israel truly “leave” the council?

This contradiction raises questions about diplomatic strategy and international narratives.

The confusion follows the U.S. departure from the UNHRC, amplifying scrutiny on the council’s treatment of Israel.

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’ [Video]

‘Hamas Can…’ Canada’s BIG Announcement For Palestine |Israel SLAMS Canada For ‘Distorted Campaign’

In a seismic shift in foreign policy, Canada has announced it will formally recognise the State of Palestine at the 80th UN General Assembly session in September 2025. Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the move essential to preserve hopes of a two-state solution—calling current efforts "eroded before our eyes." The decision follows similar recognitions by France and the UK, creating a powerful bloc pushing for Palestinian statehood. However, Carney made the recognition conditional—insisting on PA reforms, 2026 elections excluding Hamas, and full demilitarisation. Israel has blasted the decision, calling it a "distorted campaign of international pressure" and warning it legitimises Hamas's October 7 atrocities. Palestinian President Mahmud Abbas hailed the move as “historic.” The tension between international recognition and Israeli resistance could reshape global diplomacy on the conflict. #Canada #Palestine #Israel #UNGeneralAssembly #TwoStateSolution #MarkCarney #PalestinianState #Gaza #Hamas #Abbas #MiddleEast #IsraelPalestine #PeaceProcess #UNGA2025 #France #UK #Ottawa #Jerusalem #Diplomacy #BreakingNews Also Read Far-Right Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's Visit to Jerusalem Site Stirs Controversy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/far-right-minister-itamar-ben-gvir-controversial-visit-jerusalem-011-3831673.html?ref=DMDesc Israel's First Reaction On Ireland And Norway Over Recognition Of Palestinian State :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israels-first-reaction-on-ireland-and-norway-over-recognition-of-palestinian-state-3831297.html?ref=DMDesc Biden hails Australia as "anchor to peace and prosperity" in the Pacific :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/biden-hails-australia-as-anchor-to-peace-and-prosperity-in-the-pacific-gen-3667943.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~ED.102~GR.124~

Israel, Ukraine Launch Joint Talks To CRUSH Iranian Threat Amid Rising WW3 And Nuclear Fears

In a dramatic shift on the global chessboard, Israel and Ukraine have agreed to initiate a joint dialogue aimed at neutralizing the growing threat posed by Iran. Both nations—haunted by Iran’s military exports and nuclear ambitions—announced the new cooperation in Kyiv during Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s visit. Ukraine accuses Iran of fuelling Russia’s war machine with kamikaze drones, while Israel views Iran’s nuclear program as an existential threat. Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga of Ukraine declared Iran a “global security menace,” and thanked Israel for its surprise strike on Iranian military targets last month. The move marks a pivotal tightening of Israel–Ukraine ties, despite past tensions over Israel’s neutrality in the Russia-Ukraine war. Both countries have now drawn a clear red line around Tehran’s expanding influence—and plan to counter it. The anti-Iran dialogue could reshape the Middle East–Eastern Europe dynamic in the months ahead. #IsraelUkraine #IranThreat #DroneWarfare #NuclearIran #MiddleEastTensions #UkraineWar #GideonSaar #AndriySybiga #TehranWarning #RussiaUkraine #IranianDrones #Geopolitics #AlliesAgainstIran #NuclearDealCollapse #AxisOfResistance #KyivDiplomacy #IsraelStrikesIran #MilitaryTechWar #GlobalSecurityCrisis #AntiIranAlliance ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.420~

Israeli FM Sa’ar HITS BACK at Iran’s Araghchi | ‘SWEATY & TENSE’ Jibe after post against Netanyahu

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar hit back at Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi after the latter’s fiery tirade against Prime Minister Netanyahu. Sa’ar mocked Araghchi as “sweaty and tense,” sarcastically advising him to “stay cool.” His remarks follow Araghchi’s scathing post accusing Netanyahu of dictating U.S. policy, branding him a “war criminal,” and celebrating Iran’s missile strikes. Araghchi also mocked Netanyahu’s Gaza operations as a failure, warning that Iran’s nuclear and military retaliation will continue despite Israeli threats. #IsraelIran #GideonSaar #AbbasAraghchi #MiddleEastTensions #Netanyahu #IsraelStrikesBack #IranMissiles #NuclearTensions #GazaConflict #Khamenei #AyatollahKhamenei #DiplomaticSpat #TehranVsTelAviv #BibiUnderFire #MilitaryQuagmire #IranIsrael #SaarMocksAraghchi #Geopolitics #BreakingNews #MissileRetaliation #NuclearShowdown #MiddleEastDrama Also Read Netanyahu Confirms Hamas Gaza Chief Mohammed Sinwar Killed In Israeli Airstrike :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-confirms-hamas-gaza-chief-mohammed-sinwar-killed-in-israeli-airstrike-4166343.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Announces New Gaza Aid Plan Amid Ceasefire Deadlock And Famine Fears :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-announces-new-gaza-aid-plan-amid-ceasefire-deadlock-and-famine-fears-4160331.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu's Cabinet Postpones Ceasefire Meeting Until Hamas Withdraws New Demands :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-cabinet-ceasefire-hamas-demands-011-4044621.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~
