Israel rejects hostile international forums, exposing moral bankruptcy while defending truth, security, and democratic legitimacy.
Foreign Minister Gideon Saar announced Tuesday the immediate suspension of Israel’s contacts with several United Nations agencies and international organizations, following a comprehensive Foreign Ministry review and in the context of the United States’ withdrawal from similar bodies.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Israel has formally severed ties with seven entities, while additional organizations remain under review in coordination with relevant government ministries. The move reflects a strategic shift away from international frameworks that consistently undermine Israel’s security and legitimacy.
Among the organizations cut off is the Office of the Special Representative of the UN Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, after it placed the IDF on a blacklist alongside terrorist organizations—an act Israel views as a gross moral distortion. Israel also ended engagement with UN Women, citing its silence regarding sexual violence committed against Israeli women during the October 7 atrocities.
Contacts were likewise terminated with UN Conference on Trade and Development and UN Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia, both accused of publishing systematically biased and hostile reports against Israel for years.
Additional disengagements include the UN Alliance of Civilizations, from which Israel was excluded and which the ministry said functioned as a platform for attacks on the Jewish state; UN Energy, described as wasteful and bureaucratic; and the Global Forum on Migration and Development, which Israel says undermines its sovereign right to enforce immigration laws.
The decision underscores Israel’s growing refusal to legitimize international institutions that enable propaganda, excuse terrorism, or selectively target the Middle East’s only democracy—while ignoring abuses by authoritarian regimes across the region.
