The United States will not take the floor at the main U.N. human rights forum on Monday during the annual debate on alleged violations committed in the Palestinian territories, a U.S. spokesman told Reuters on Monday.
The council prepared to discuss seven resolutions against Israel on Monday, according to U.N. Watch, a non-governmental organization based in Geneva that monitors United Nations activity.
The move at the 47-member state forum, where Washington unfailingly defends Israel, follows signals that the Obama administration is undertaking a “reassessment” of relations with Israel.
The last time that Washington spoke under that stand-alone agenda item was in March 2013, U.N. records show.
“The U.S. delegation will not be speaking about Palestine today,” a U.S. spokesman in Geneva told Reuters in response to a query as the debate began. He declined further comment.
Meanwhile, U.N. Watch described the UNHRC session scheduled for Monday as “Hate Israel Day,” adding that every regular session of the council features a day dedicated entirely to criticizing Israel.
“While all 193 countries of the world are addressed under Agenda Item 4 — human rights situations requiring the world’s attention — only Israel gets its own special treatment, under Agenda Item 7 — human rights situation in Palestine and other occupied Arab territories,” the group stated.

Let them keep pulling this , it is becoming obvious to more and more Americans..Evil always overplays its hand, the egos move beyond logic and they destroy themselves. The progressive “haters” are literally blinded by their hatred..they have lost! The tipping point has been reached, the house of cards will fall. The reset of US policy will emerge..watch Al Sisi, if he doesn’t get assassinated he might be the leader of a new era.
