In a letter to UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, which was entered as an official UN document on Tuesday, Ambassador of Israel to the United Nations Yehuda Lancry protested "an alarming campaign of anti-Israel and anti-Jewish incitement emanating from the Arab world," HATZOFEH reported.

"This campaign of propaganda knows no bounds—demonization of the Israeli enemy, the most abhorrent anti-Semitism and the denial of the Holocaust have emerged in full force," Lancry wrote. He also noted that the campaign of rhetoric against Israel has increased as efforts to promote negotiations are intensified.
