Israeli authorities have announced the country's withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, according to several media outlets citing a statement by the Foreign Minister. This decision was a consequence of repeated criticism of the organisation, which Israel accuses of bias.

US position

The United States had previously taken a similar step, expressing dissatisfaction with the Council's activities. In addition, the White House stated its intention to review its membership in UNESCO.

Trend towards reviewing international agreements

The withdrawal of two countries from key UN structures reflects the ongoing debate about the fairness and objectivity of international organisations.
