World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder calls resolutions targeting Israel shameless 27 May 2021 share this on
NEW YORK/GENEVA World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder reacted on Thursday to the passage of two recent anti-Israel resolutions by the World Health Organization’s Assembly and United Nations Human Rights Council, labeling them as “shameless” and declaring that they sully the reputation of the United Nations and the bodies that operate under its auspices.
In a statement following the back-to-back votes in Geneva on Wednesday and Thursday, Lauder declared that, “Some UN member-states seem to believe that by exculpating Hamas and distorting the facts, they will gain cheap political points against Israel. The real losers, of course, are the Palestinians in Gaza, cynically held hostage by a terrorist organization that purports to speak in their name. Once again, truth has fallen victim to a shameless charade.”
