(Haaretz) Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, on Monday encouraged “action” against U.S. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, directly meddling in American politics.
Taking to Twitter, Danon referred to the right-wing Stop Antisemitism organization that “just named Congresswoman Omar its 2019 anti-Semite of the Year.” He added: “Here is a clear opportunity to prove that all the talk about standing up to #antisemitism is not just an empty promise.”
Danon, a former Likud minister who was appointed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as Israel’s envoy to the UN in 2014, has 52,000 followers on Twitter.
His tenure at the UN has been recently extended by Netanyahu’s transitional government.
