Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today (Wednesday) with a delegation of ambassadors to the United Nations, led by Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations Gilad Erdan, from the countries: Malta, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Ukraine, Slovenia and Sierra Leone, at the office of the from Jerusalem.
During the meeting, the Prime Minister addressed the ambassadors and said: "The UN is not an outstanding organization when it comes to dealing with Israel, it is often unbelievably biased.
He has a human rights council, so to speak, which devotes a significant part of its decisions against Israel and not a single one against Iran, Yemen or other places where there is cruelty and aggression."

He clarified his words: "It is not intended that they should condemn both them and us - no, because Israel is fighting the war of civilization against barbarism, because it is responding to brutal attacks carried out without provocation on our part, and because it is doing it with the greatest effort that any army has ever Dedicated to downplaying as much as possible harm to civilians, while we fight against an enemy who commits a double war crime. He also harms our civilians, butchers their bodies, rapes women and men, beheads them after they are raped, burns babies alive and many other horrors, which we only saw in the Holocaust Such things are done against the Jewish people."
In response to the lawsuit filed by South Africa in which it attributed war crimes to Israel, Netanyahu told the ambassadors: "South Africa had the audacity to take this to the International Court of Justice and accuse us of committing genocide against what is in fact an organization that commits genocide. The most terrible thing is that many of the accusations are false and lacking Shahar, which we were accused of in The Hague, were served by UNRA employees.
In recent weeks, we discovered that UNRA employees participated in the massacre."

The prime minister also said: "The time has come for the international community and the UN itself to understand that UNRWA's mission must be ended. UNRWA is perpetuating itself.
She wants to preserve the issue of Palestinian refugees.
We must replace UNRWA with other UN agencies and other aid agencies, if we want to solve the Gaza problem as we plan to do.
There are other UN agencies, there are other agencies in the world - they must replace UNRA."

"Hamas infiltrated the UNRA ranks.
The organization works in the service of Hamas, in its schools and in other places.
I say this with great regret, because we wish for an objective and helpful body to offer assistance.
We need such a body today in Gaza.
UNRA is not that body. We must replace it with an organization or organizations that will carry out the mission," Netanyahu emphasized to the ambassadors.
After the prime minister's remarks, Israel's ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, spoke to the ambassadors and said: "Any country that continues to fund UNRWA before a comprehensive investigation of the organization should know that its money will be used for terrorism.
The aid that will be transferred to UNRA may reach the Hamas terrorists instead of the population in Gaza. I call on all donor countries to freeze their support and demand an in-depth investigation that will attack all the organization's employees."
