Israel's UN Envoy Erdan Calls for Isolating Abbas Over Antisemitism, Pushes Iran Nuclear Concerns

Israel's UN ambassador Gilad Erdan says the world should see Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as irrelevant due to his antisemitic comments.

Erdan hopes Netanyahu's upcoming UN General Assembly speech will isolate Iran over its nuclear ambitions.

Erdan has strengthened ties between Israel and UN member states, including through the recent anti-Holocaust denial resolution.

He maintains close contact with American Jewish leaders to explain Israel's positions, including on judicial reforms.

Erdan hopes to return to Israeli politics after completing his role as ambassador, likely after Netanyahu steps down.
