Israel Cuts Ties With UN Agencies Following US Withdrawal, Citing Bias

Israel has announced it is severing ties with several United Nations agencies and international organizations, following the United States' withdrawal from numerous global bodies. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar cited persistent anti-Israel bias, politicization, and inefficient bureaucracy as reasons for the decision. The move includes immediate disengagement from specific agencies, with a review underway for continued cooperation with others. Israel has previously cut ties with some of these bodies due to specific grievances, including accusations of ignoring sexual violence and blacklisting the IDF.
