Danon to Lead UN Ambassadors on Visit to Poland and Israel

Danny Danon, Israel’s permanent representative to the United Nations, will lead a delegation of UN ambassadors representing approximately 20 countries on a visit to Poland and Israel. The announced itinerary includes Krakow’s Jewish Quarter and Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, before the delegation concludes its trip in Israel. Danon linked the mission to rising antisemitism. He said he had established an international task force at the UN to combat hatred inside the organization and beyond it. He called for international representatives to see firsthand where silence in the face of incitement against the Jewish people can lead. The visit follows an established part of Danon’s diplomatic work. His official biography describes a continuing program he initiated to bring fellow ambassadors to Poland and Israel. Danon began his second term as Israel’s ambassador to the UN in August 2024, having previously held the post from 2015 to 2020.
