Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations ripped into the international body Thursday, calling it a “disgrace” and criticizing what he alleged was a hypocritical UN.

Erdan cited the months it took for the UNGA to meet over a response to the coronavirus pandemic. “You are calling on Israel to exercise restraint when it is facing indiscriminate attacks every day,” he said.
“The hypocrisy in this institution knows no boundaries,” Erdan said, hitting out at Turkey, Denmark and France.
“We go above and beyond the demands of international law,” Erdan said.
