"Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan threatened to cut Israel's funding to the United Nations Wednesday evening if the Human Rights Council publishes a 'blacklist' of international companies operating in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Golan Heights.
Israel has raged against the proposed roster, calling it part of an effort to boycott the Jewish state. The US has also objected, with ambassador Nikki Haley reportedly threatening to cut funding to the UNHRC over the list.
'This is the time to make it clear to the UN that if a blacklist is published of companies operating in Judea and Samaria, Israel will completely cease its financing to the UN and significantly reduce the entry of its representatives to Israel,' Erdan wrote in a series of tweets, referring to the West Bank by its biblical names.
'Any body that participates in promoting a boycott against Israeli citizens must understand that.'
The minister later tweeted in English on the matter, but diluted his threat to saying that Israel 'must reexamine all funding and cooperation with the UN.'
His comments came shortly after Haley made a similar statement warning against publication of the blacklist..."
