Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, claimed during his departure speech that Israel is the “most moral country in the world.” His speech took place at a UN Security Council meeting in New York where he discussed the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He expressed pride in representing his country and gestured to the Palestinian representative while emphasizing Israel’s moral standing. Erdan’s departure comes amid increasing tension between Israel and the UN following deadly strikes on a school in Gaza. The ongoing conflict has led to criticism from the international community, including Israel’s allies. Additionally, the UN secretary-general’s comments on the situation have sparked further controversy. Despite this, Israel’s new ambassador, Danny Danon, has vowed to address the diplomatic challenges ahead.
