PM Bennett Asks US to Act on Behalf of Israel at International Forums

29 September, 2021   |   2 years ago

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett met on Monday on the sidelines UN General Assembly in New York with US Ambassador to the UN Linda Greenfield-Thomas.

Bennett asked Greenfield-Thomas to act on behalf of Israel at international forums

“I think that the reengagement of the United States with international institutions is a good opportunity to bring balance to these institutions vis-a-vis Israel. Many times we feel these institutions are slanted and sometimes unfair and I think the new spirit between America and Israel can be brought to bear and we can do great things together,” has said.

The Biden administration has rejoined several UN and other bodies that the Trump administration had left due to their anti-US and anti-Israel bias.

Bennett also referred to IDF soldiers Oron Shaul and Hadar Goldin, whose bodies are believed to be held by the Hamas terror organization in the Gaza Strip, and civilians Avra Mengistu and Hisham A-Said who are in Hamas captivity, and asked Greenfield-Thomas to “continue raising the issue in various forums,” as she has done since meeting Leah Goldin, Hadar’s mother.

Bennett also met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Monday.
