I've Been Thinking:

13 UN ambassadors arrived in Israel on Tuesday at the invitation of Gilad Erdan, Israel's Ambassador to the United Nations.  The trip was organized by both Ambassador Erdan and the UJA of NY.

The objective in putting together this 7-day trip is for these UN ambassadors to see the real Israel and after seeing Israel with their own eyes, their voting records in the United nations may turn more favorably towards Israel.    

The ambassadors will tour historic sites and sites of religious and cultural significance.  They will be taken to visits at the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Museum.

They will meet with Israel’s senior leadership - President Isaac Herzog, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.  They will visit several IDF bases across the country and engage in discussions with Israeli security officials.  As part of their visit, the 13 ambassadors will visit the sites where Gaza terrorists and Hezbollah have perpetrated attacks against Israel.

The emphasis of much of this trip will be mutual economic and security interests. 

The UN Ambassadors visiting Israel represent Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Estonia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tanzania, Benin, Burundi, Malawi, El Salvador, Panama and Mexico, a current member of the UN Security Council.

Israeli Ambassador Erdan said of this trip: "We're bringing the ambassadors to Israel to experience Israel's commitment to coexistence, freedom and equality first-hand."  The visitors to Israel will, he said get a "deeper understanding of Israel's reality and contributions to the international community”.
