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.

Trump Demands Hamas SURRENDER & Release Hostages for Ceasefire in Gaza as Witkoff meets Netanyahu

Donald Trump has issued a stark ultimatum to Hamas: “Surrender and release the hostages” or face continued starvation in Gaza. Amid mounting criticism of Israel’s war strategy and stalled hostage talks, Trump shifted his tone—demanding Hamas end resistance to stop the humanitarian crisis. As Netanyahu meets U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff, discussions center on reviving negotiations via Qatar and Egypt. With annexation being floated as a fallback, the situation remains tense, and U.S.-backed aid efforts face scrutiny for failing to ease suffering. #TrumpVsHamas #GazaCrisis #HostageTalks #Netanyahu #WitkoffMission #MiddleEastTensions #GazaWar #HumanitarianCrisis #HamasUltimatum #GazaStarvation #TrumpStatement #IsraelHamasWar #AidUnderFire #QatarMediation #USIsraelRelations #BreakingNews #GazaBlockade #GazaFamine #WitkoffInJerusalem #PeaceStalemate #AnnexationThreat #TrumpMiddleEast #HamasResistance #GazaAidFail #USPolicyShift #HostagesInGaza #GazaNegotiations Also Read They Can Take Their Dead Economies Down Together: Donald Trump Slams India, Russia :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/they-can-take-their-dead-economies-down-together-donald-trump-slams-india-russia-7816541.html?ref=DMDesc After Tariffs, Trump Administration Sanctions 6 Indian Companies For Trading With Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/after-tariffs-trump-administration-sanctions-6-indian-companies-for-trading-with-iran-011-7816493.html?ref=DMDesc Maybe, Pakistan Will Sell Oil To India Someday: Trump After Striking Deal With Islamabad :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/maybe-pakistan-will-sell-oil-to-india-someday-trump-after-striking-deal-with-islamabad-011-7816471.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~

Canada’s Hypocrisy Exposed! Secretly supplied weapons to Israel; now plans to recognise Palestine

A shocking new report reveals Canada has secretly supplied weapons to Israel amid the Gaza conflict, contradicting its stated export freeze. Activist researchers traced at least 13 arms-linked flights from Toronto, many via civilian carriers like Air Canada and Lufthansa. Items shipped included F-35 parts, radar gear, and ammunition. Elbit Systems is identified as a major recipient. The exposé surfaces just as PM Mark Carney announces recognition of Palestine, admitting Israeli settlement expansions have rendered negotiations "no longer tenable." #CanadaIsrael #Palestine #ArmsExports #GazaGenocide #CanadianHypocrisy #ElbitSystems #MilitaryLeaks #DoubleStandards #HumanRights #CarneySpeech #WeaponShipments #TorontoFlights #CivilianFlightsUsed #IsraelCanadaTies #ExposeCanada #WarProfiteering #F35Parts #RadarExports #WestBank #MiddleEastCrisis #ActivistReport #GazaUnderAttack #InternationalLaw #DefenceDeals #BreakingNews #CanadaPolitics #CanadianComplicity Also Read France's Recognition of Palestine Could Influence Future Middle East Dynamics :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/france-recognition-state-palestine-middle-east-dynamics-011-7810889.html?ref=DMDesc Israel And Syria Agree To ceasefire: US Ambassador To Turkey :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-and-syria-agree-to-ceasefire-us-ambassador-to-turkey-011-7805781.html?ref=DMDesc ‘She Used Me for Money’: Israeli Father’s Struggle to See Daughters After Gokarna Rescue :: https://www.oneindia.com/bengaluru/she-used-me-for-money-israeli-father-s-struggle-to-see-daughters-after-gokarna-rescue-011-7804789.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.420~HT.408~GR.122~

Iran’s SHOCKING demand STUNS Trump | Will Trump bow down & resume Nuclear Talks?

Iran has issued a stunning ultimatum to the U.S., demanding compensation for damages from the recent U.S.-Israel strikes before resuming nuclear talks. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi blamed Trump’s 2018 JCPOA withdrawal for eroding trust and slammed Washington for using diplomacy as a cover for aggression. Iran insists on real guarantees, rejects U.S. calls for zero enrichment, and warns that rising anti-negotiation sentiment in Tehran could end talks permanently unless America changes course with serious confidence-building measures. #IranNuclearDeal #USIranTensions #JCPOA #AbbasAraghchi #TrumpIran #NuclearTalks #MiddleEastDiplomacy #USForeignPolicy #TehranDemands #IranUltimatum #Geopolitics #NuclearShowdown #SnapbackThreat #USIsraelStrikes #NoZeroEnrichment #DiplomacyCrisis #TalksOnEdge #USMiddleEastPolicy #IranNews #BreakingNews #TrumpEraFallout #BidenPolicy #GlobalSecurity #TrustDeficit #EnrichmentRights Also Read India Advises Its Citizens Against Non-Essential Travel To Iran :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/india-advises-its-citizens-against-non-essential-travel-to-iran-7802657.html?ref=DMDesc Iran To Buy Chinese J-10C Fighter Jets :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-to-buy-chinese-j-10c-fighter-jets-7788123.html?ref=DMDesc Iran’s Uranium Mystery: 400kg Vanishes Without a Trace :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/iran-s-uranium-mystery-400kg-vanishes-without-a-trace-011-7787491.html?ref=DMDesc ~ED.194~HT.408~

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. 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~
