Israel and the United Nations

Israel's relationship with the United Nations is complex and has been marked by controversy, particularly regarding the UN's treatment of Israel in various resolutions and its involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel has been a member of the UN since 1949 and has participated in various UN agencies, but has also criticized the organization for what it sees as anti-Israel bias. The UN has also imposed various resolutions and sanctions on Israel in response to its actions in the occupied territories.
