JNF to UN Chief: I hope you put an end to UN's hatred of Israel

"UN Secretary-General H.E. António Guterres arrived on Monday to the Grove of Nations in Jerusalem, as a guest of KKL-JNF [Jewish National Fund] World Chairman, Mr. Daniel Atar...

During the ceremony, Atar .... criticized the one-sided and hostile position held by the different UN bodies.

'The tree you plant here today, Your Excellency, will join the trees that have been planted here over 2,000 years ago,' Atar said. 'Those same trees also supplied part of the First Temple that sat on the Temple Mount, which, according to the body that you lead, is a holy site only for Muslims.'

'This remains an absurd decision which attempted to rewrite history at the expense of the Jewish people and the state of Israel. I hope that, along with this tree, a new spirit will grow within the UN organizations – one that will put an end to anti-Israel hatred and anti-Semitism.'..."
