Hamas in Gaza just fired rockets at Israeli cities of Ashdod & Ashkelon, injuring a 62-year-old man in the torso & a 28-year-old man in the limbs.
Peace accords were just signed between Israel & two Arab states.
UN rights chief @mbachelet ignores all the above, attacks Israel.
I took the floor at the United Nations:
Madam President,
We meet on a historic day. For the past century, the Middle East has been the scene of war, bloodshed, enmity and suffering.
In the Arab-Israeli conflict, hostilities included deadly wars in 1948, ‘56, ‘73, and ‘82...
as well as other deadly wars of attrition and terror. In Israel and Arab countries, an estimated 230,000 men, women and children were injured or lost their lives.
Worldwide, the conflict sparked fears of a clash between the nuclear-armed superpowers, while the Arab Oil Embargo..
of 1973 shocked the global economy, quadrupled the price of oil, and triggered a worldwide energy crisis. Those applying this embargo included Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.
Madam President,
Today is a historic day. In the 20th century, a total of two peace accords...
were achieved between Israel and Arab states — Egypt in 1979, and Jordan in 1994.
Yet today, in one day, that number will double. Only moments from now, on the White House Lawn, both the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain will sign peace agreements with Israel.
The three countries have already begun speaking of a new era — of peace, normalization, mutual cooperation, trade, tourism, prosperity and hope.
The peace agreements have been welcomed by countries around the globe, including Egypt, Oman, and Saudi Arabia, which itself...
announced that it will allow overflight rights to planes flying to and from Israel.
Today is indeed a day of hope.
But I am confused.
If the United Nations and this Human Rights Council truly care about human rights and peace, why did the United Nations Human Rights Chief...
just speak here, making numerous references to the Middle East, yet without mentioning once this historic moment of peace and hope?
Why, instead, did she only point the finger of blame at one side — at Israel?
Why did she not mention the peace agreements being signed today in Washington?
Does this Human Rights Council truly want peace and human rights for everyone?
Why does the Agenda of the council single out only one state, Israel?
Why are half the condemnatory resolutions of this council targeting only one state, Israel?
Why does this council's expert on the Palestinian territories examine only Israel's actions, while turning a blind eye to the abuses of Hamas and Islamic Jihad?
On this historic day, when Arab countries and Israel come together in peace, the question before the United Nations is a crucial question: Do they truly want peace, do they truly want human rights?

BREAKING: The President of the UN Human Rights Council is reportedly planning to evade his legal duty to convey to the plenary our objection to the reappointment of Francesca Albanese (per HRC 8/PRST/2) by claiming that her violations of the Code of Conduct are not “persistent.”
2/ Any refusal to convey our objection to Albanese’s reappointment by claiming her violations aren’t “persistent” would be a specious excuse. The President's duty under 8/PRST/2 is to transmit, not judge. In any case, our 60-page dossier shows clear persistent misconduct.
3/ Here are 60 pages of Francesca Albanese's grave, numerous and indeed non-stop violations of the Code of Conduct from the moment she took office in May 2022 until October 2024:
Antisemitism Leads to Madness: Leftist Irish politician Clare Daly, an avowed feminist, covers herself in Islamic garb to join pro-Iran Jihadis at Houthi conference in Yemen that repeatedly called for “Death to America! Death to Israel! A Curse Upon the Jews! Victory to Islam.”
You can also see Clare Daly in front row on the far left joining the Jihadi crowd to shake her fist in approval as the speaker, a former ANC MP who converted to Islam to marry his fourth wife, chants “Viva Hamas” & “Viva Hezbollah.”
3/ For a feminist, Irish left-wing politician Clare Daly seems to repeatedly enjoy covering herself in religious Islamic garb. Here she is falsely praising Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces for their “egalitarian nature” and “inclusiveness”:
No joke: Meet the new Chair of the U.N. Women's Rights Commission.
2/ Ambassador Abdulaziz M. Alwasil of Saudi Arabia is now chairing the U.N. commission on the status of women, “the principal global intergovernmental body exclusively dedicated to the promotion of gender equality, the rights and the empowerment of women.” unwomen.org/en/how-we-work…
3/ @UN_Women and their chief @SimaBahous are even cheering their pride in having this Sheikh from Saudi Arabia—a country that imprisons and tortures women's rights activists—as Chair of their U.N. Women's Rights Commission:
The 2025 U.N. Human Rights Council is now in session.
Meet the members:
🇨🇺 Cuba
🇶🇦 Qatar
🇨🇳 China
🇸🇩 Sudan
🇩🇿 Algeria
🇧🇴 Bolivia
🇰🇼 Kuwait
🇧🇮 Burundi
🇻🇳 Vietnam
🇰🇬 Kyrgyzstan
🇧🇩 Bangladesh
🇨🇩 Democratic Republic of Congo
The inmates are running the asylum.
2/ UNHRC Grants Impunity to Worst Regimes: The council has adopted ZERO resolutions on China, Cuba, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, Hamas, Iraq, Erdogan's Turkey, Zimbabwe, and countless other oppressive regimes and state sponsors of terrorism.
3/ UNHRC Appoints Anti-Western “Human Rights Experts”: Alena Douhan, the “Special Rapporteur on unilateral coercive measures” uses her UN platform to portray China, Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela & Zimbabwe as victims. She took $600,000 from China.
@faniaoz @ICRC_ilot 🧵 1/ Out of 187 tweets by the Red Cross on the conflict, including by ICRC president Mirjana Spoljaric Egger and director Robert Mardini, 77% criticized Israel. Only 7% criticized Hamas. So the Red Cross is 10 times more critical of Israel than Hamas. unwatch.org/report-red-cro…
@faniaoz @ICRC_ilot 2/ Red Cross officials told the family of a female hostage held by Hamas in Gaza not to worry about their daughter's need for daily medication — and that they should worry about Gazans instead.
@faniaoz @ICRC_ilot 3/ Red Cross said last year they would "investigate" their viciously anti-Israel and anti-neutrality head of office. Nine months have passed. Never heard a thing from them:
BREAKING: U.N. Special Rapporteur Mofokeng is now calling me an “evil scum” “white man” after I called for her to be disciplined for tweeting “F**k off” to Israel's prime minister. Mofokeng actually sits on the U.N. committee overseeing all 86 U.N. human rights experts. 🧵
2/ Doubling down on her violations of the UN Code of Conduct—which require to act with probity, integrity & good faith—Mofokeng unleashed a rant against me replete with racism, obscenities & insults. Her actions bring the UN into disrepute and @antonioguterres cannot stay silent.
@antonioguterres 3/ Any individual who resorts to racism, obscenities and insults is demonstrably unsuited to serve as a human rights expert or in any other position at the United Nations.
