Israel Withdraws from Seven UN Agencies Following US Exit from International Bodies

Following the United States' withdrawal from 66 international organisations, Israel announced it will immediately sever ties with seven UN agencies and affiliated bodies, citing persistent bias, politicisation, and inefficiency. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar stated the decision followed a review of these organisations, including the Office of the Special Representative for Children in Armed Conflict and UN Women. Israel has also ordered a review of its cooperation with other international bodies, with further decisions pending.
