Israeli diplomat tells United Nations their resolution is less important than fixing his toilet | JWR

JERUSALEM – Israelis are not known for their fondness of the United Nations and its institutions, but a resolution passed Friday questioning Israel’s continued [disputed presence] of the [biblical] city of Hebron and the damage it might be causing to holy sites there drew an angrier-than-usual Response:
„Sorry … I have a very urgent … sorry, Mr. Chairman … it’s my plumber in my apartment in Paris. There is a huge problem in my toilet, and it’s more important than the decision you just adopted, thank you,“ Carmel Shama-Hacohen, Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization, said sarcastically while addressing the forum’s annual gathering.
