PM Netanyahu Response to Today’s Decision by the UN Human Rights Council

(Communicated by the Prime Minister’s Media Adviser)

Following is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s response to the decision of
the UN Human Rights Council:

“This is hypocritical council with an automatic majority against Israel.
This council ought to be ashamed of itself. Until today, the council has
made 91 decisions, 39 of which dealt with Israel, three with Syria and one
with Iran. One only had to hear the Syrian representative speak today about
human rights in order to understand how detached from reality the council
is. Another proof of its detachment from reality came last week when it
invited before it a representative of Hamas, an organization whose ideology
is based on the murder of innocents.”
