Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, called on Friday evening for the resignation of Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, according to Israeli media reports. The demand followed what media described as an outburst at the UN Security Council, amid an ongoing confrontation between Danon and UN officials over the treatment of Israel.
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon called on Friday evening for the resignation of Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative on Sexual Violence in Conflict, in what Israeli media described as an outburst during a Security Council session. The incident follows a previous confrontation in the same body on Friday, when Danon and a representative of Secretary-General António Guterres shouted at each other during a discussion on violence against women, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. Danon has been a vocal critic of what he terms UN bias against Israel, including his call earlier this week to cancel the ICC arrest warrant against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the prosecutor's suspension. The Foreign Ministry has not yet issued an official statement on the latest exchange.
