U.S. Backs Israel at UN Human Rights Council
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - "We are deeply troubled to be presented once again with a slate of resolutions so replete with controversial elements and one-sided references that they shed no light and offer no redress for the real challenges in the region," said U.S. Ambassador Eileen Chamberlain Donahoe. "The council is too often exploited as a platform from which to single out Israel, which undermines its credibility....The U.S. strongly encourages the council to seek an alternative to highly politicized resolutions and a permanent agenda item focused on one country," she said. Israel's ambassador to the UN in Geneva Aharon Leshno Yaar said he appreciated the support of the U.S. at the council.
