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.

Gaza Attacked from Sky: 94 Killed in Overnight Strikes— Aid Seekers Bombed, Children Burned in Tents [Video]

Gaza Attacked from Sky: 94 Killed in Overnight Strikes— Aid Seekers Bombed, Children Burned in Tents

The Gaza crisis has reached a horrifying new level. Overnight Israeli airstrikes killed 94 Palestinians, including 45 people waiting for humanitarian aid. Dozens were burned alive in tents in Muwasi, and 15 more were killed when a school sheltering displaced families was hit in Gaza City. Since October 2023, Gaza’s Health Ministry reports over 57,000 Palestinians killed — more than half of them women and children. Over 90% of Gaza's 2.3 million people are now displaced, with hundreds of thousands facing starvation. The international community remains divided, as Israel has not commented on the latest wave of strikes. Meanwhile, talks of a potential 60-day ceasefire continue with no resolution in sight. This is not just a war — it’s a humanitarian catastrophe. #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #GazaUnderAttack #HumanitarianCrisis #GazaAirstrikes #CeasefireNow #StopTheWar #MiddleEastCrisis #WarCrimes #SaveGaza #IDF #Hamas #UN #BreakingNews #GazaChildren #GazaBombing #FreePalestine Also Read Middle East: UN Labels Gaza 'The Hungriest Place On Earth' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/middle-east-un-labels-gaza-the-hungriest-place-on-earth-4168609.html?ref=DMDesc Missile from Yemen Disrupts Flights in Israel Ahead of Key Vote on Gaza War :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/missile-from-yemen-disrupts-flights-in-israel-ahead-of-key-vote-on-gaza-war-4143509.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.420~

Terrifying Hamas VIDEO Shows Maxim Herkin, Bar Kuperstein Alive; ‘Please!’: Hostages Beg for Help

The families of Israeli hostages Maxim Herkin and Bar Kuperstein have authorized the release of a deeply unsettling video snippet originally published by Hamas in April. This 44-second clip shows the two men, visibly distressed and pleading for their lives, as part of a strategic push by the families to secure a comprehensive hostage return deal with Hamas, rather than partial agreements. The Hostages and Missing Families Forum has condemned what it calls "cruel selections," demanding the return of all hostages. #IsraelHamasWar #HamasHostageVideo #MaximHerkin #BarKuperstein #IsraeliHostages #HostagesPlead #GazaHostages #HamasTerror #BringThemHome #IsraelHamasWar #HostageCrisis #GazaConflict #SaveTheHostages #IsraelUnderAttack #HamasCaptives #HostageNegotiations #Hostages #Gaza #Israel #Hamas #BreakingNews #Netanyahu #WorldNews #OneindiaNews #NovaFestival ~GR.125~PR.152~ED.194~

Hamas DIRECTLY CHALLENGES Trump; Rejects U.S' 60-Day Ceasefire Proposal; 'End the War Or...'

Hamas has indicated it is open to a ceasefire agreement but has effectively rejected the latest American-backed proposal, insisting that any deal must lead to a permanent end to the war in Gaza. This response comes after US President Trump announced the plan, urging Hamas to accept the terms before conditions worsen. While Israel has reportedly agreed to the initial terms, it maintains that the war will not officially end until its objective of dismantling Hamas is achieved. #IsraelHamasWar #GazaCeasefire #HamasCeasefire #TrumpCeasefirePlan #TrumpGazaCeasefire #IsraelHamasCeasefire #CeasefireTalks #HamasResponse #TrumpOnCeasefire #GazaWarUpdates #CeasefireDeal #HamasDemands #USCeasefirePlan #CeasefireNegotiations #HamasRejectsDeal #TrumpNetanyahu #MiddleEastConflict #GazaCrisis #IsraelHamasConflict #CeasefireLatest ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.102~GR.124~

Israel Embassy Murder BLAMED On European Leaders|Macron, Starmer Spread ‘genocide Lies,’ Says Saar

Following the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has launched a scathing attack on European leaders. He accused them of inciting antisemitic hatred and claimed their rhetoric directly fuels violence against Israelis. Saar called out European and international officials for spreading false narratives about genocide in Gaza, linking their remarks to what he calls “modern blood libels.” As Western countries increase diplomatic pressure on Israel over Gaza, tensions between Israel and Europe are rapidly escalating. #GideonSaar #Israel #Europe #EmbassyAttack #Antisemitism #IsraelVsEurope #MiddleEast #DiplomaticTensions #GazaConflict #EU #UK #France #Canada #WashingtonDC #EmbassyShooting #BloodLibel #GlobalPolitics #ForeignPolicy #IsraelNews #BreakingNews #HamasWar #IsraelDefense #HumanRights #GenocideClaims #InternationalRelations #JewishSafety #IsraelGazaWar #SaarStatement #AntiIsraelIncitement #EUReview #MiddleEastUpdate Also Read Hamas Releases US-Israeli Hostage Edan Alexander Ahead of Trump’s Middle East Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/hamas-releases-us-israeli-hostage-edan-alexander-ahead-of-trump-s-middle-east-visit-4151571.html?ref=DMDesc Immense Pressure From Families Of Hostages: Netanyahu Says Israel Has To Continue Fighting In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/immense-pressure-from-families-of-hostages-netanyahu-says-israel-has-to-continue-fighting-in-gaza-4128785.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Detains, Deports 2 Female UK MPs; Britain Calls It 'Unacceptable, Deeply Troubling' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-detains-deports-2-female-uk-mps-britain-calls-it-unacceptable-deeply-troubling-4116053.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.194~GR.122~
