Minister for Social Equality and Women Empowerment May Golan on Wednesday wrote a letter to Rep. Elise Stefanik, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the post of US Ambassador to the UN.
“Tragically, the women of Israel who experienced the horrors of October 7th found no expression for their voices in UN institutions. Instead of supporting them and unequivocally condemning the rape, slaughter, burning, and abduction of Israeli and Jewish women, the UN has acted to silence them, giving legitimacy to those who deny these atrocities-the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust!” continued Golan.
“Precisely because of this challenging year, you enter this challenging position with courage, facing numerous adversarial forces, but with justice and morality as your guides. I have no doubt that the State of Israel will find in you a true friend and a devoted ally,” the Minister wrote, concluding with, “Continue to shine the light of women in the face of darkness and opposition.”
Under the incoming administration, May’s calls for recognition should fall on ears that are ready to listen and act.
