The Israeli government cut off all cooperation with the UN Human Rights Council following the decision to form a fact-finding team to investigate human rights violations in the construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank.
Reported by Reuters, the decision was made by a spokesman for the Israeli Foreign Ministry, Yigal Palmor, said on Monday. In addition to disconnecting, Israel also banned the team from the UN to enter their territory.
"We're not going to work with them again. Previously we have participated in meetings, discussions, and arrange a visit to Israel. It's all over," Palmor said.
This decision was made after all members of the Human Rights Council, except the United States, on Thursday last week decided to investigate violations in the building of Jewish settlements in Palestinian territories, the West Bank.

According to them, a step Israel is destroying the peace process, threaten the sustainability of the plan two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Palmor said the establishment of the Human Rights Council team showed partiality to Israel and anti-Jewish sentiments that undermine the Zionist state policy towards the Palestinians. "They are systematically and repeatedly make a decision and condemnation of Israel without thinking of our position," Palmor said.
