This is according to a letter seen by Reuters.
“Affording the Iranian foreign minister the floor before this body continues to undermine the council’s credibility and constitutes a blatant betrayal of the many victims of this regime worldwide,” Meron said in a letter addressed to council president Jurg Lauber.
The council said on Friday said that Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was due to be given the floor. Shortly afterwards, he is due to hold talks with the European Union foreign policy chief and his counterparts in Britain, France and Germany in order to de-escalate the conflict.
In the letter, Meron accuses Iran of using the council as a international stage to “promote the regime’s despotic campaign.”
Israel began attacking Iran last Friday, saying it aimed to prevent its long time enemy from developing nuclear weapons. Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes on Israel. It says its nuclear programme is peaceful.
