Maltese diplomat Vanessa Frazier found herself at the centre of a heated confrontation at the United Nations on Friday after a meeting on conflict-related sexual violence descended into a public shouting match.The clash erupted during a UN event marking the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict, where Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, criticised recent UN reports that placed Israel on international blacklists relating to alleged violations in conflict zones.Addressing the meeting, Danon accused UN officials of bias, saying they had “caved to the secretary-general’s obsession with targeting Israel”.Frazier, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict and a former Maltese ambassador to the UN, interrupted with a point of order, objecting to what she described as “personal attacks” and defending the findings of the reports as based on “verified evidence”.The exchange quickly escalated, with Danon responding: “You will be quiet now… you and your shameful report.” He later added: “If you don’t want to listen, go out.”The incident comes amid growing tensions between Israel and the United Nations over reports examining the impact of the conflict on Palestinian children and allegations of conflict-related sexual violence.What do you make of this exchange?
