Alwaght- The Israeli regime was the most condemned member at the UN in 2018 with the General Assembly passing at least 20 resolutions against Tel Aviv for human rights abuses, illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian territory and its continued occupation of East Al Quds (Jerusalem).
At least six efforts passed at the end of November sought to draw attention to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and a separate resolution passed in December renewed condemnation of the U.S.'s unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
The resolutions passed this year further voice support for long-stalled efforts to achieve a two-state solution to end the Israeli-Palestinian conflict while separately condemning Israeli regime's continued occupation of the Syrian Golan Heights.
A US-led effort to condemn Hamas, which it described as a "terrorist organization," failed to gain sufficient traction within the General Assembly.
The resolution was spearheaded by Nikki Haley, the US's outgoing UN envoy. She said the UN has condemned Israel at least 500 times over the years.
Meanwhile, at the onset of 2019, the Israeli regime and the US officially quit the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the culmination of a process triggered more than a year ago.
UNESCO is best known for its work to preserve heritage, including maintaining a list of World Heritage sites, and programs to promote education in developing countries.
UNESCO infuriated Washington and Tel Aviv after granting Palestine full membership in 2011, and criticizing Israel for its occupation of East al-Quds.
