Israel's mission to the United Nations said Monday that more than 40 countries stayed away from a U.N. meeting marking 25 years since the Durban conference. It said the number exceeded the 38 countries that boycotted the 2021 anniversary event, after Israel's Foreign Ministry urged countries not to attend.
