It is my honor to welcome 12 of my @UN Ambassador friends from around the world to Israel! Over the next week together, we will experience the uniqueness of Israel & see what makes ?? remarkable.

"I have set a goal for myself to bring as many UN ambassadors to Israel as possible, so they can see Israel with their own eyes and learn about our challenges and contributions to the world," he said.
"Over the next week together, we will experience the uniqueness of Israel & see what makes [the country] remarkable," Erdan announced in a tweet. "Back at the UN, I'm sure these memories will help guide their diplomatic work," he added.
In November, Erdan criticized the international body for "erasing Jewish history and distorting the truth" by not recognizing the Jewish communities who were expelled by Arab countries and Iran following the establishment of Israel.
He also condemned the UN's decision to mark this year's voting anniversary of the 1947 partition plan with an event held in solidarity with the Palestinians.
