"In unusually blunt comments, Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations
Dan Gillerman criticized Russia, China and Qatar on Monday for disappointing
Israel in their role as UN Security Council members this year.
Gillerman, addressing a New York meeting of B'nei Brith International, a
Jewish humanitarian organization, heaped praise on U.S. Ambassador John Bolton,
jokingly describing him at one point as "a secret member of Israel's
own team at the United Nations."
Noting that just five diplomats worked in the busy Israeli UN mission, he
told the group: "Today the secret is out. We really are not just five
diplomats. We are at least six including John Bolton."
