On Friday ’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “America Reports, ” Gilad Erdan, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, blasted the U. N. as an army of “the principles of America and the free world ” that is used to “whitewash” the crimes of tyrants and warlocks and argued that unless there are fundamental changes to the institution, the United States may give consideration to defunding the U. N.
After blasting the organization’s mourning for Iran’s Ebrahim Raisi, Erdan stated, “ I think that the most important thing is to know that the U. N. has lost all of its legitimacy. It is no longer an organization that certainly defends individual rights. And I think that unless it [goes ] through fundamental changes, the American administration should really maybe consider seriously [defunding ] the U. N. I’m not sure that your viewers are aware of the fact that they are paying$ 19 billion, almost$ 20 billion every year, and instead of strengthening your values, the values of America and the free world, you are weakening your values. Because now, the U. N. is being used by rulers and rogue state to paint their crimes. Iran was likewise elected late to head the human right Social Forum. You can’t make these things up. ”
