Ban admits UN has no bias against

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has backtracked on his remarks that the international body has been biased against Israel.

During his visit to Israel last week, Ban told a group of Zionist students that “Unfortunately, because of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Israel has been weighed down by criticism and suffered from bias and sometimes even discrimination”.  Ban even said Israel should be treated equal to all the other 192 UN member states.

On Monday, journalists pressed Ban over his statements regarding UN discrimination against Israel. Ban answered, "No, I don’t think there is discrimination against Israel at the United Nations.”
