Ambassador Nikki Haley – Leading the Fight Against Anti-Israel Bias at the UN

The U.S. delegation at the United Nations continues to stand up for Israel there.

Last Friday, the Trump administration’s deputy representative  to the UN, Michele Sison, strongly condemned the UN’s systemic anti-Israel bias. She spoke at a Security Council session to hear the first report issued under UNSC Res. 2334, which the Obama administration allowed to pass last December. Earlier that day, the U.S. voted against five anti-Israel resolutions at the UN Human Rights Council.

Following the principled lead of the U.S., the United Kingdom also objected to the Council’s bias against Israel and voted against the five anti-Israel resolutions.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley spoke at the “Ambassadors Against BDS” conference at the United Nations on Wednesday, calling BDS “a movement away from truth and away from history.”

Haley has earned the enthusiastic support and gratitude of the pro-Israel community. (See her appearance at the AIPAC Policy Conference here.)
