Iceland’s Foreign Minister Thorgerdur Katrin Gunnarsdottir has publicly responded to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he described diplomats who walked out of his United Nations address as “moral cowards.”
Gunnarsdottir countered that the label fits leaders who repeatedly disregard international law rather than those who protest such actions.
Is this just diplomatic posturing, or will Iceland actually take concrete steps to enforce accountability?
Interesting how definitions of courage shift depending on who holds the power in the room.
Finally, someone with a backbone at the UN. International law shouldn’t be optional.
