Speaking on the recent departure of William Schabas from the UN Human Rights Council, Yuval Steinitz released a statement asserting that in light of the resignation, the council's findings up until this point are effectively void. The Strategic Affairs minster added that Schabas' departure also 'leaves a stain on the unfair behavior of the United Nation's Human Rights Council towards Israel.' 'The Schabas committee was inherently flawed since it wanted to judge Israel in a kangaroo court, in a fashion that no other Democracy would be judged,' Steinitz added.
