On Thursday, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar announced that Israel had decided to withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council, a move that aligned with the decision previously made by the United States. The official took to his social media platform, X, to say

“Israel joins the United States and will not participate in the UNHRC.The UNHRC has traditionally protected human rights abusers by allowing them to hide from scrutiny, and instead obsessively demonizes the one democracy in the Middle East – Israel.This body has focused on attacking a democratic country and propagating antisemitism, instead of promoting human rights.The discrimination against us is clear:In the UNHRC, Israel is the only country with an agenda item dedicated solely to it. Israel has been subjected to over 100 condemnatory resolutions, over 20% of all resolutions ever passed in the Council – more than against Iran, Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela combined.Israel will not accept this discrimination any longer!”

The decision of nations to withdraw from these organisations aligns with the prayers made by the church and reflects the fulfilment of the prophetic message delivered by the Man of God m, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome in the 2024 message of the Year. In 2024, the Year of Redemption, our dear Man of God, guided by the Spirit, called on leaders of nations to “extricate themselves from detrimental associations”. The actions taken by the United States and Israel are a testament to the realisation of the words declared by the Man of God.
