The US decision is to be announced in the US Department of State. Speculations about the resignation from membership in the Council have already appeared in 2017. In May last year, Nikki Haley announced - at a Council session in Geneva - that the United States would review its membership of the UN Human Rights Council and urge the assembly to get rid of "chronic prejudice against Israel."
At that time Ambassador Haley criticized the activities and composition of the Council. However, she regarded the criticism of Israeli policy in the occupied Palestinian territories as a "chronic prejudice" against the Jewish state. This criticism was expressed by the Department of State in March 2017.
