68 U.S. Senators Seek to Quash UN Probe of Israel

(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - 68 U.S. Senators, including 31 Democrats and 37 Republicans, signed a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken calling for the Biden administration to quash a UN Human Rights Council inquiry into Israel's treatment of Palestinians. They noted the council's "continuing bias against Israel and the disproportionate use of resources in an ongoing campaign to disparage, discredit and denounce Israel." The initiative was led by Senators Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Rob Portman (R-OH). The UN voted by 125 to 8 with 34 abstentions to launch an open-ended probe into Israel following the May war with Hamas. AIPAC, the pro-Israel lobby group, called the probe "part of the UN's broad, decades-long campaign to criminalize and delegitimize the world's only Jewish state."
