Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, presented posts from a senior UNDOF official's X account on Wednesday night, alleging they reflect anti-Israel bias and antisemitism, and called on Secretary-General António Guterres to launch an official investigation, according to Israeli media.
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon escalated his campaign against what he describes as institutional anti-Israel bias within the United Nations, this time targeting a senior official of the UN Disengagement Observer Force (UNDOF). According to an N12 report cited by commentator Tomer Almagor, Danon presented posts from the official's X account and argued they demonstrate anti-Israel prejudice and antisemitism. He called on Secretary-General António Guterres to open a formal investigation into the matter.
The move follows a series of public confrontations between Danon and UN officials in recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier this week, Danon exposed what he called 'serious bias' by Vanessa Frazier, the UN Secretary-General's representative for children and armed conflict, alleging she shared antisemitic content. He also clashed with officials over the inclusion of Israel on a UN blacklist of parties suspected of conflict-related sexual violence, and called for the resignation of UN Special Representative Pramila Patten.
The specific identity of the UNDOF official and the exact content of the posts have not been independently confirmed. Danon's office has not yet issued an official statement beyond the media reports.
