Israel is demanding that the UN take action against a senior Jordanian official who made an implicit comparison between Israel and Nazi Germany.
Israeli Ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor says that the comment made by Rima Halaf, the Socio-Economic Committee Director for Asian, is "incomprehensible."
Halaf said that Israel is carrying out "ethnic cleansing" through its blockade of Gaza during an official meeting. She also notably took part in the attempted flotilla operation earlier this year.
Several months ago, Halaf also claimed that "Israel is a Jewish state that systematically violates the rights of Muslims and Christians, and raises anew the idea of an ethnic country. This thought caused indescribable human suffering during the 20th century." Her comment outraged many people present, including those who usually do not support Israel.
