After US, Israel also backs away from UN human rights body
GENEVA - Diplomats say Israel has temporarily reduced its participation with the UN Human Rights Council, days after the United States pulled out.
The diplomats in Geneva said Israel had "lowered" its participation.
Israel was not participating in the council plenary Friday, where its seat sat empty. The diplomats cautioned the move was not definitive and could change from day to day.
Israeli diplomats haven't participated since a council discussion Thursday on discrimination against women.
