The appointment of the Israeli occupation ambassador, Gilad Erdan, to a senior UN position is an affront to the values of freedom and justice and a threat to international security and stability. 

We strongly condemn the appointment of the Israeli occupation envoy to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, as a vice president of the UN General Assembly. 

This move constitutes a provocation of the feelings of the Palestinian people and peace and justice advocates around the world and an insult to the international community, which have a responsibility for ending the Israeli occupation of Palestine and holding to account its leaders for their crimes and terrorism against the Palestinian people and Arab nations. 

We call on the UN and friendly states supportive for our people's right to freedom and self-determination to reverse this heinous decision to preserve human rights and not to grant Israeli war criminals immunity from punishment and accountability before international courts.
