As more countries are recognizing the State of #Palestine, the departing Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, warned that "Israel" was losing the battle over the narrative on the world stage.
Erdan told Newsweek during a media meeting last week at the Israeli Mission to the #UN that "Israel" has to "do more to convince the world," citing that it "always concerns us when our approach is not being accepted, like every normal country."
Erdan also alleged, "Today, the U.N. is being exploited and weaponized against Israel to delegitimize the whole notion of a Jewish state."
He argued that it was crucial to maintain a presence at the UN if "lies are being spread against Israel," otherwise, there would be no way for the #US and #UK ambassadors to retrieve intelligence that is helpful for allies to "continue supporting us."
According to the International Criminal Court, over 100,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped by Putin's military, then deported by the Russian military and sent to reeducation camps inside Russia. Estimates of up to 700,000 kids have been forcibly removed or deported from their homes. Russia's plan is to erase Ukrainian identity by creating orphans and kidnapping the children. This is genocide.
This is Oleksandr from Mariupol. Russian soldiers separated boy and his mother in filtration camp in March, 2022. He has not seen his mother since then. Every year on June 4th, the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression acknowledges the pain that children around the world suffer. We must stop this terror now. World must hold Russia accountable for its actions.
Stop Putin's genocide of Ukrainians.

Jens Stoltenberg, Secretary General of NATO:
"I think the time has come for [NATO] allies to consider whether they should lift some of the restrictions that are put on the use of weapons they have donated to #Ukraine... This is self-defense. Self-defense is enshrined in the #UN Charter. It’s legal and it’s legitimate and we are helping Ukraine upholding that right, and that should include the ability to also strike targets on Russian territory”

On apartheid Israel
When apartheid South Africa came under growing international pressure at the UN, the General Assembly initiated boycotts.
It suspended South Africa, stripping it of its Member State rights & privileges.
The apartheid regime "could no longer be seated, speak or vote at the General Assembly & other UN organs.
"Apartheid South Africa changed course because it became a pariah & isolated regime"

UN votes to back Palestinian membership, prompting Israeli envoy to shred charter – video
The vote was a resounding expression of world opinion in favour of Palestinian statehood and Israel delivered a fiery denunciation of the resolutionThe Guardian
The UN General Assembly is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favour of enhanced Palestinian membership of the United Nations.
And it could carry far-reaching consequences.
The draft text, co-sponsored by #Ireland among others, will recognise that #Palestine is qualified for full #UN membership and recommend that the Security Council reconsider the matter, after it was blocked by a US veto last month.
