Erdan Calls to Defund UN, Warns Iran Deal Threatens Israel's Future

The Jerusalem Post·24 June 2026

Former Israeli UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan, speaking at the Jerusalem Post Conference in New York, called for defunding the United Nations and replacing it with a league of democracies, warning that any deal leaving Iran's regime intact poses an existential danger to Israel. The continued global isolation of Israel through a compromised UN system, alongside the unresolved Iranian nuclear threat, aligns with biblical warnings of a time when all nations turn against Israel in the last days. Zechariah 12:3 declares that Jerusalem will become 'a burdensome stone for all peoples' as the nations gather against her.
