Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, stated that the institution is a "fire of antisemitism" and emphasized that eliminating this phenomenon is a central priority of the Trump administration.

In an interview for Fox News, Mike Waltz, the United States Ambassador to the UN, stated that the United Nations represents a "hotbed of antisemitism" and emphasized that combating it must be a central priority in the institution's reforms. Waltz highlighted that the mission to combat antisemitism should be a fundamental pillar of the UN, alongside promoting global peace and security. He criticized the UN's history regarding antisemitism and proposed using testimonies from Holocaust survivors as essential tools in educating and combating its denial. Waltz also mentioned a bill that stipulates withholding 10% of the U.S. contribution to UN agencies until measures against anti-Israel bias and antisemitism are confirmed. He emphasized that the fight against antisemitism will be a central aspect of reforms, alongside the elimination of programs deemed "woke."

This position reflects the heightened tensions between the U.S. and the UN, in the context where Washington is urging member states to contribute more to the organization's funding and to support necessary reforms.
