President Isaac Herzog on Thursday called on the UN to stand with Israel against Iran and help prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Herzog made the call during his meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at the UN headquarters in New York.
“Met today with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres along with Israel’s Ambassador Gilad Erdan. I expressed my deep concern at the hostility towards Israel in UN bodies, seen in negative votes and a one-sided view of the conflict in our region,” tweeted Herzog.
“We expect the UN to stand resolutely with us against Iran - which calls publicly for Israel’s destruction - and to stop it acquiring nuclear weapons,” he added.
“I was joined by Leah Goldin, mother of Lt. Hadar Goldin who fell in Operation Protective Edge in Gaza and is still held by Hamas. We raised the need to return the Israeli prisoners and missing, as well as the war against terrorism,” wrote Herzog.
