“The members of the Investigative Committee against Israel must be removed and disbanded immediately”
Prime Minister Yair Lapid today sent a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, demanding the immediate impeachment and dissolution of the members of the investigative committee against Israel.
Below are the main points of the Prime Minister’s words in a letter to the UN Secretary General:
• “Mr. Guterres, I call on you today to respect your words in this scandalous case, and to set things straight – this thing cannot pass in silence.”
• “Slanders about a “Jewish lobby” that works to “control” the media, recall the darkest days of modern history.”
• “The fight against anti-Semitism cannot be conducted with words alone. It requires action. It is time to take action – it is time to dissolve the committee.”
• “This committee not only supports anti-Semitism – it incites it.”
The Prime Minister’s demand follows anti-Semitic statements by committee member, Mr. Milon Kotari, which join a series of anti-Semitic incidents and a clear anti-Israel phenomenon, which exists in the UN Commission of Inquiry.
Sending this letter is part of a comprehensive and intensive effort that Israel has led in recent days.
Thanks to the many efforts, representatives from a number of countries have already condemned Mr. Kotari’s anti-Semitic comments, including: the United States, France, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Austria, the European Union.
