Set up in May 2021 just days after the conflict with Hamas, the COI ignores Hamas' terror activities preceding and during the May conflict, and instead attempts to discredit Israel by focusing on “root causes” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This is unquestionably just another attempt by the United Nations Human Rights Council to unjustifiably target Israel. The Biden Administration has rightly stood with our ally Israel, opposed this COI, and worked to minimize its impact. However, we must not stop there. We look forward to working with the Admin to end this one-sided COI and reform the Human Rights Council, including through the institution of membership standards and the removal of the standing agenda item on Israel, the only country-specific agenda item. It is long-past time for the United Nations to end its long-standing bias against Israel.”
