Dozens of UN ambassadors, representing over 20 nations, visited the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp in Poland on Wednesday. The delegation was organized by Israel’s UN Ambassador, Danny Danon, as part of his efforts against antisemitism. Notable participants included the German ambassador, who joined such a tour for the first time, and the ambassador of Trinidad and Tobago, a country set to join the UN Security Council this January. This was reported by the Jerusalem Post and Walla. During the visit, Danon emphasized the Iranian threat, citing explicit calls from Tehran for Israel’s destruction. Further details regarding the political meetings accompanying the tour have not yet been released.
