‘Israel’ Cuts UN Payment by $2 Million over ‘Bias’
Local Editor
The Zionist entity announced Wednesday it is reducing its required payment to the United Nations by $2 million following recent ‘votes against ‘Israel'.'
Foreign Ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said the decision to reduce the annual payment was taken following votes critical of ‘Israel' at the Geneva-based Human Rights Council, and condemned the "obsessional discrimination against ‘Israel' on the part of the United Nations and its agencies."
The General Assembly requires all 193 UN members to pay a percentage of the United Nations' regular budget, based on their GDP. According to the UN Secretariat, ‘Israel' is expected to pay about $11 million this year, or 0.43 percent of the regular budget.
‘Israel's' refusal to pay $2 million of its dues will put the country in arrears, but it won't immediately lose its vote in the world body.
Last week, a United Nations rights expert issued a criticism of the Zionist policies, deepening a row over alleged anti-‘Israel' bias within the UN following US pressure.
In a report, the UN special rapporteur on the Palestinian territories, Michael Lynk, charged ‘Israel' with the subjugation of [Palestinians'] humanity and intensifying a crackdown on human rights campaigners.
Lynk made the claims in a report presented to the UN Human Rights Council during the Geneva-based body's mandated session on ‘Israel', known as Agenda Item Seven.
