Upon the announcement, Israel’s representative Noam Cappon immediately objected, calling the Iranian regime “the world’s leading state sponsor and the largest proliferator of terrorism.”

Iran was elected as vice-chair of the UN Charter Committee on Wednesday, drawing fury from Israeli and American representatives to the UN.

The American representative, Dorothy Patton, also condemned the move to elect Iran and Venezuela’s election as Chair.

“The bureau selection further solidifies our longstanding concern that this committee continues to be a forum for politicized accusations, which we firmly reject, rather than serious, practical discussion,” Patton said, further calling on the committee’s leadership to act in “good faith.”
