Israel Cuts Ties With Additional UN Agencies, Citing Anti-Israel Bias and Bureaucratic Failures

• Israel announced it will immediately cut ties with three additional UN-linked organizations: the UN Alliance of Civilizations (used as a platform to attack and exclude Israel), UN Energy (cited as an example of wasteful and inefficient UN bureaucracy), and the Global Forum on Migration and Development (accused of undermining sovereign nations’ immigration enforcement).
• This builds on Israel’s prior withdrawal from four other bodies: the Office of the Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict (which blacklisted the IDF alongside terrorist groups like Hamas), UN Women (which ignored evidence of sexual violence against Israeli women on October 7, 2023), UNCTAD, and ESCWA (both known for producing virulently anti-Israel reports fueling hostile resolutions).
• The decision follows a review prompted by the United States’ recent withdrawal from dozens of international organizations under President Trump, highlighting shared concerns over politicized and biased UN operations.
• Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar emphasized that Israel is reassessing its engagement with all international bodies to ensure cooperation serves national interests, with more cuts likely after further review.
• The move reflects Israel’s long-standing frustration with the UN’s disproportionate focus on condemning Israel—more resolutions target Israel annually than any other nation—while often shielding or aligning with adversaries.
• In related actions, Israel continues confronting UNRWA, accused of terrorist ties, staff involvement in the October 7 attacks, and promoting hatred in its schools, with recent legislation restricting the agency’s operations, utilities, and presence in Israeli-controlled areas.
