(Times of Israel) Israeli Public Security and Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan on Thursday praised U.S. national security adviser John Bolton for saying the U.S. would cut its funding for the UN Human Right Council and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights. "The UN's human rights bodies have undermined their founding values by becoming hotbeds of anti-Israel extremism, hate and boycott campaigns," Erdan said. "If Ambassador Bolton's announcement spurs the UN to start investing in exposing the world's worst violators of human rights, rather than in delegitimizing the Middle East's one true democracy, millions around the world will benefit."
