Israel’s president on UN: Morally “bankrupt”
Harsh words: In a speech on Holocaust Remembrance Day, Israeli head of state Isaac Herzog accused the United Nations of having failed in the fight against anti-Semitism.

Referring to the major Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which left over 1,200 dead, Herzog said: "How is it possible that international institutions, which were created as an alliance against the Nazis, give free rein to anti-Semitic, genocidal teachings after the largest massacre of Jews since the Second World War?"
"Outrageous hypocrisy and protection of the perpetrators"
Herzog accused institutions such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) of opting for "outrageous hypocrisy and protection of the perpetrators". In his speech, UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the "horrific attacks by Hamas on October 7" and warned that anti-Semitism was on the rise again and was being fueled by "the same lies and the same hatred that made the Nazi genocide possible".
