Hundreds of Jewish Organizations Denounce UN Human Rights Council Commission of Inquiry Against Israel
(Israel Hayom) Dan Lavie - 472 Jewish organizations and over 4,000 individuals wrote to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michele Bachelet demanding an end to a probe by the UN Human Rights Council's International Commission of Inquiry (COI) into Israel. Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations CEO William Daroff called the probe a "one-sided farce" that "again demonstrates the clear anti-Israel bias in the UN body. The Jewish and pro-Israel communities are unified in their abhorrence of the [COI] process and strongly urge United Nations leadership to ensure that the commission does not present a report that will unfairly criticize Israel, the only democracy in the Middle East."
