- Mount Carmel (Hebrew: הַר הַכַּרְמֶל, romanized: Har haKarmel; Arabic: جبل الكرمل, romanized: Jabal al-Karmil), also known in Arabic as Mount Mar Elias (Arabic: جبل مار إلياس, romanized: Jabal Mār Ilyās, lit. ‘Mount Saint Elias/Elijah’; Hebrew: הַר הַקָּדוֹשׁ אֵלִיָּהוּ, romanized: Har haQadosh Eliyahu), is a coastal mountain range in northern Israel stretching from the Mediterranean Sea towards the southeast. The range is a UNESCO biosphere reserve. A number of towns are situated there, most notably Haifa, Israel’s third largest city, located on the northern and western slopes.
Right here at the UN Headquarters, the UN General Assembly decided to expel the ICC prosecutor Karim Han. He thought he could cover up his criminal behavior by spreading lies against Israel. It didn’t help him and it will not help Mayor Mamdani who is doing exactly the same: Spreading hate and lies against Israel.
