NEW YORK — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday urged United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to change the UN’s approach to Israel during a meeting in New York.
Netanyahu demanded the UN “change the attitude of the organization’s institutions toward the State of Israel,” the Government Press Office said in a statement.
The prime minister also stated that while Israel was increasingly accepted in the Middle East, it was “untenable” that the UN “was unaffected and remained steadfast in its hostility to Israel,” the statement said.
Netanyahu accused the world body of “baseless criticism of Israel,” and urged the UN to condemn “Iranian subversion and Palestinian terrorism.”
