In May, Mozambique will hold the rotating presidency of the Council. Pedro Comissario Afonso, the UN ambassador for Mozambique, requested that members rise and observe silence “in remembrance of the loss of life in a crash of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ebrahim Raisi” and his staff.
Gilad Erdan, Israel’s UN representative, swiftly denounced the action as a “disgrace.”
“You saw correctly. The UN Security Council dedicated a moment of silence in memory of the mass murdering president of Iran, Raisi. What a disgrace,” he said in a video message posted on X.
“The Security Council has become a threat to global peace and security,” added Erdan, who has been increasingly critical of the United Nations since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel.
