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.

40,000 Troops, Air Defence & Tanks | Egypt fortifies Gaza border, to BLOCK entry to fleeing Gazans

Egypt is reinforcing its border with Gaza, deploying 40,000 troops, tanks, and air defense systems to block fleeing Palestinians amid Israel’s escalating assault. Officials fear over a million Gazans may attempt to cross into Sinai if Israel takes Gaza City, sparking chaos and a humanitarian disaster. While Cairo insists it rejects any forced displacement as a red line, IDF claims coordination with Egypt raise suspicions of complicity. Critics say Egypt is working hand-in-glove with Israel to keep Gazans trapped. #Egypt #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #Sinai #Gazans #MilitaryDeployment #HumanitarianCrisis #BorderCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #OperationGideonsChariots #GazaWar #PalestinianRefugees #EgyptIsrael #NationalSecurity #Displacement #WarInGaza #BreakingNews #IDF #RedLine #GazansTrapped #EgyptGazaBorder #GlobalCrisis #PalestineUnderAttack #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Egypt and Eni-Total Consortium Set to Sign Major Agreement on Cypriot Natural Gas Export :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/egypt-eni-total-consortium-sign-deal-cypriot-natural-gas-export-011-4052177.html?ref=DMDesc 17 People Missing After Tourist Yacht Sinks in Red Sea Following High Waves Warning :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/tourist-yacht-sinks-red-sea-17-missing-011-3998351.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Demands Indefinite Israeli Control Over Gaza-Egypt Border :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-netanyahu-control-gaza-egypt-border-011-3925991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Israel BLASTS UK, France, Canada for ‘Rewarding Terror’— Palestinian State Move Is a Gift to Hamas?

Israel is furious. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has condemned the recent moves by the UK, France, and Canada to recognize a Palestinian state — calling it a “pure prize for terror” and a “gift to Hamas.” Speaking at a press conference in Jerusalem, Saar slammed the announcements as “immoral” and “politically foolish,” warning that these decisions reward the very actors responsible for ongoing violence. The statement comes amid growing international outrage over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — but Israel argues that such recognition sends the wrong message and emboldens terrorism. As September’s U.N. General Assembly approaches, global divisions over the Israel-Palestine war are reaching a boiling point. #Israel #GideonSaar #PalestineRecognition #UKFranceCanada #Hamas #MiddleEastCrisis #GiftToHamas #IsraelVsWest #JerusalemPressConference #UNGeneralAssembly #TwoStateSolution #WestBank #GazaWar #PoliticalTensions #OneindiaNews Also Read Trump Claims Canada's Recognition of Palestinian State Complicates Trade Negotiations :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-uses-canada-palestinian-state-recognition-leverage-trade-talks-011-7817517.html?ref=DMDesc 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 ~HT.318~PR.274~

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

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.
