UN Envoys Visit Auschwitz, Israel's Envoy Decries Incitement

Dozens of UN ambassadors, led by Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon, visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp on Wednesday. The visit this year focused on the practical activities of the "Task Force to Combat Antisemitism," established by Ambassador Danon to fight hatred of the Jewish people within and outside UN mechanisms.

Germany's Ambassador to the UN also participated in the tour. Danon stated that "while we stand on this land, which absorbed the blood of our six million brothers and sisters, the Iranian terror regime continues to call for Israel's destruction. The international community cannot murmur 'never again' and simultaneously legitimize inciters and murderers at the UN."

He added, "The international community must see with its own eyes where hatred leads. One cannot fight contemporary antisemitism without understanding its historical significance." The visit comes as Palestinians prepare to advance several anti-Israel resolutions at the UN aimed at undermining the country's international standing. These resolutions are set to be presented to the General Assembly for approval this month.

The proposed resolutions focus on portraying Israel negatively, particularly highlighting the consequences of the "Swords of Iron" war. Among the initiatives are measures concerning "assistance to Palestinian refugees," protection of their property and income sources, and condemnation of "Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem and the Syrian Golan."
