Before reciting the bracha, Erdan said he was fulfilling a promise he made to the chairman of the Shomron Regional Council to place a mezuzah in the shape of Eretz Yisrael at Israel’s UN office. Erdan then recited the bracha and the assembled crowd responded with a loud Amen.
The mezuzah was installed with the help of Rabbi Shliach. Yosef Yitzchak Noymanand it will welcome Israel’s new Ambassador to the United Nations, Daniel Danon.
Ambassador Erdan had openly spoken out against the UN and its handling of the war in Eretz Yisroel.
In a video he released on the International Day of Remembrance and Honoring the Victims of Terrorism, he enters the UN lobby and attacks the UN for ignoring Israeli victims. There are memorial plaques honoring the victims in all sorts of places, like Indonesia and Kenya, and a “Palestinian” woman is killed in New Zealand, but not once is there any mention of Jews being killed in terrorist attacks in Eretz Yisroel.
In a recent interview with i24NEWS, he expressed his disgust at the “crooked and distorted behavior” of the UN and demanded that “the UN should be closed and its building wiped off the face of the earth.”
“In that respect?” asked the interviewer, surprised.
“Yes, in that respect,” Erdan replied. “This is the building I have been coming to every day for four years. This building may look beautiful from the outside, but it is crooked and distorted.”
As for his future, Erdan said he wants to remain actively involved in serving the Jews in the Holy Land. “I know I have a mission,” he said. “I see myself as Netanyahu’s successor at the head of the Likud in the future.”
