I look forward to the day that the Palestinians share with us their position on LGBTQI rights, on the rights of women and girls, on ways to protect freedom of speech, on ways they ensure peaceful protests and on ways they treat minorities. 3/3

One thing he said is correct though: Israel is subject to exceptional treatment at the HRC and faces double standards.
You view Geneva as your playground to attack Israel, not as a place to address human rights. 2/3

Not surprisingly, the Palestinian FM used #HRC49 to spread hateful libel against Israel, trying to undermine the very foundation of my country. The PA lives in a parallel universe. Israel was founded on the value of equality- we are upholding this since our inception. 1/3

The Russian attack on Ukraine is a serious violation of the international order. Israel condemns the attack, and is ready and prepared to provide humanitarian assistance to the citizens of Ukraine. ⬇️

1/4 Israel shares the concern of the international community regarding the steps taken in eastern Ukraine and the serious escalation in the situation. Israel hopes for a diplomatic solution which will lead to calm, and is willing to help if asked.

Thank you Ambassador Sison for your steadfast support. Together, we must end the bias and obsession against Israel at the @UN_HRC. Supporters of Item 7, the COI, and other one-sided mechanisms have only one goal: to deligitimize Israel's very existence. This must end.
In a meeting with @IsraelinGeneva's Ambassador @MeiravEShahar I reiterated that the U.S. will continue to vigorously oppose the @UN_HRC’s disproportionate attention on Israel, which includes the Council’s only standing agenda item targeting a single country.
#Israel is investing in #sustainable mobility.
