The exhibition was created by the Israeli delegation to the U.N and the Israel Nature and Parks Authority and is scheduled to be on display for two weeks. It was designed to display Israel's beautiful environment. The U.N. officials asked the Israeli delegation and Danon to take down the picture because it is 'controversial.'
Moreover, the U.N. officials put up a sign near the exhibition stating that international body is not responsible for the content displayed.
'There's no limit to the United Nations' obsession with Israel,' stated Danon in response. 'The decision to try and censor a picture of animals in nature just because it was taken in the Jordan Rift Valley is a new record of absurdity. We will not let them censor us and we will continue to display with pride the beautiful country of Israel..."
