Amid tensions with the UN and allegations of bias against Israel, Israel's mission to the organization is promoting a move to increase the number of Israelis employed there. The initiative aims to encourage Israelis to apply for professional and managerial positions at UN headquarters in New York and its institutions worldwide, using recruitment mechanisms designed for countries suffering from underrepresentation. Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, said that precisely at a time when Israel is fighting anti-Semitism and bias, it is important that more Israelis take on significant roles. The article also mentions a report by an independent commission of inquiry on behalf of the UN Human Rights Council, which determined that Israel is committing acts considered genocide in the Gaza Strip and crimes against humanity in Judea and Samaria. Israel's Ambassador to Geneva, Daniel Meron, rejected the findings and accused the commission of distorting history and spreading false information.
