Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, wrapped up his four-year service at the U.N. during a ceremony held in Manhattan on Monday, hosted by Israel’s U.N. delegation in collaboration with the UJA-Federation of New York. The event drew hundreds of attendees, including numerous ambassadors, leaders of Jewish organizations, New York Mayor Eric Adams, and Congressman Richie Torres (D-N.Y.), who gathered to pay tribute to Erdan. “Many times I have been asked how I can come to work every day in a place where there is so much hatred and hypocrisy against Israel,” Erdan said.
