独家报道： 美国常驻联合国代表迈克·沃尔兹呼吁联合国进行全面改革，将打击反犹主义置于议事日程的首位，与此同时，特朗普政府正推动该机构进行全方位变革。
在一次独家镜头采访中，沃尔兹辩称，对抗反犹主义应成为联合国任何改革的核心支柱，同时应更广泛地回归他所说的该组织的核心使命——维护和平与安全。
“联合国在反犹主义问题上有着恶劣的历史和记录。首先，在很多方面，它都是反犹主义的滋生地，”沃尔兹表示，“本届政府决心与之抗争。”

他将这一问题描述为既紧迫又具有历史意义，将全球反犹主义抬头和10月7日哈马斯恐怖袭击的后果联系起来，称国际机构必须重新承诺应对这些问题。
“我们必须践行‘永不重演’的誓言，”沃尔兹说，“正如我们看到全球反犹主义（https://www.foxnews.com/category/topic/anti-semitism）抬头……特别是在10月7日之后，我们必须践行这一誓言。”
沃尔兹指出，大屠杀纪念活动和幸存者证词是打击否认和历史修正主义的重要工具，他说教育必须成为联合国应对措施的核心。
“这关乎教育。这关乎回击这些荒谬的大屠杀否认言论，”他说，“但最重要的是，在我们仍能接触到他们的时候，要倾听幸存者的声音，聆听他们的个人故事。”

他补充说，联合国论坛应重视幸存者证词，而非政治宣传。
“我对联合国的建议是，让外交官和政客们靠边站，让我们听听幸存者的声音，因为他们的故事引人入胜、令人痛心，需要被倾听和记录，而且绝对不能被否认，”沃尔兹说。
大使发表上述言论之际，美国政府正呼吁对联合国进行更广泛的结构性改革，包括改变其发展援助、人道主义行动和领导层的运作方式。

沃尔兹表示，华盛顿希望看到一个更专注于预防冲突和维持和平的机构，减少对传统援助框架的依赖。
“我认为总统也看到了这一点，即一个更加专注的联合国，我们将其带回促进全球和平与安全的基本使命，并通过其维和部队在冲突爆发时执行和平任务，”他说。
推动改革的背景是美国官员和监督组织长期以来对以色列在联合国系统内受到的对待方式的批评，以及对一些联合国附属机构中反犹主义问题的担忧。
负责巴勒斯坦难民事务的联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处（UNRWA）近年来面临越来越多的审查。教育监测组织的报告记录了UNRWA相关课堂使用材料中存在使以色列非合法化或包含反犹主题的内容。
10月7日事件后，媒体调查进一步加剧了对该机构的关注（https://www.foxnews.com/world/how-oct-7-hamas-terror-attacks-exposed-long-running-concerns-about-unrwa-new-film-charges），有关其工作人员与激进分子联系的指控引发了捐赠方冻结资金和内部调查。
联合国委托进行的一项独立审查承认存在中立性挑战，并建议加强监督和审查机制。

除了UNRWA，批评者还指出联合国系统内存在结构性问题。以色列仍然是唯一在联合国人权理事会被列入永久议程（https://unwatch.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Item-7-Issue-Brief.pdf）项目的国家，这意味着每次会议都必须讨论以色列问题。
在联合国大会（https://www.foxnews.com/category/world/united-nations/general-assembly）上，以色列在许多年度会议中经常成为比其他任何国家都多的针对特定国家的决议的主题。
历届美国政府都将这种关注描述为“不成比例”（https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/un-human-rights-council-releases-report-on-israel-hamas-war-international-law-violations）。
联合国官员驳斥存在机构性反犹主义的说法，认为这种审查反映了以巴冲突的规模和持续时间以及人道主义关切，并指出各机构（包括UNRWA）正在进行改革。

沃尔兹表示，随着联合国准备进行领导层更替并就其未来方向进行辩论，打击反犹主义必须仍然是优先事项。他将打击反犹主义纳入这一更广泛的改革推动中，同时还包括世界机构的其他政策优先事项和未来领导层决策。
“除了……打击反犹主义……在联合国获得……（良好、强大的领导）（https://www.foxnews.com/category/politics/senate/leadership）之外，这些只是我们希望在任内完成的一些事情。”

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz is calling for sweeping reform at the world body, placing the fight against antisemitism at the top of the agenda as the Trump administration pushes for changes across the institution.
In an exclusive on-camera interview, Waltz argued that confronting antisemitism should be a central pillar of any overhaul of the U.N., alongside a broader return to what he described as the organization’s core mission of peace and security.
“The U.N. has an atrocious history and record when it comes to antisemitism. Number one, it’s a cesspool for antisemitism in many ways,” Waltz said. “This administration is determined to fight it.”

He framed the issue as both urgent and historic, linking rising global antisemitism and the aftermath of the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attacks to what he said must be a renewed commitment inside international institutions.
“We have to live up to the mantra of never again,” Waltz said. “As we see antisemitism on the rise around the world… after October 7th, in particular, we have to live up to that mantra.”
Waltz pointed to Holocaust remembrance and survivor testimony as essential tools in combating denial and historical revisionism, saying education must be central to any U.N. response.
“It’s about education. It’s about fighting back on these ridiculous denials of the Holocaust,” he said. “But most importantly, while we still have them, it’s about hearing from the survivors and hearing their personal stories.”

He added that U.N. forums should elevate survivor testimony rather than political messaging.
“My recommendation to the U.N. is, get the diplomats and the politicians out of the way, let’s just hear from the survivors because their stories are compelling, they are tragic, they need to be heard and documented, and they certainly can’t ever be denied,” Waltz said.
The ambassador’s remarks come as the administration calls for broader structural reform at the United Nations, including changes to how it approaches development aid, humanitarian operations and leadership.

Waltz said Washington wants to see a more focused institution centered on conflict prevention and peacekeeping, with less reliance on traditional aid frameworks.
“I see, and I think what the president sees, is a much more focused U.N. that we have taken back to the basics of promoting peace and security around the world and enforcing peace when conflict breaks out through its peacekeeping forces,” he said.
The push for reform comes against the backdrop of longstanding criticism from U.S. officials and watchdog groups over how Israel is treated within the U.N. system and concerns about antisemitism linked to some U.N.-affiliated bodies.
UNRWA, the U.N. agency responsible for Palestinian refugees, has faced mounting scrutiny in recent years. Reports by education monitoring organizations documented content in materials used in UNRWA-linked classrooms that delegitimizes Israel or includes antisemitic themes.
Media investigations after Oct. 7 further intensified attention on the agency, with allegations involving staff and militant ties triggering donor freezes and internal probes.
An independent review commissioned by the United Nations acknowledged neutrality challenges and recommended stronger oversight and vetting mechanisms.

Beyond UNRWA, critics have pointed to structural patterns across the U.N. system. Israel remains the only country assigned a permanent agenda item at the U.N. Human Rights Council, mandating discussion at every session.
At the General Assembly, Israel has frequently been the subject of more country-specific resolutions than any other state in many annual sessions.
Successive U.S. administrations have described that focus as disproportionate.
U.N. officials reject the characterization of institutional antisemitism, arguing that scrutiny reflects the scale and duration of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and humanitarian concerns, and pointing to reforms underway within agencies including UNRWA.

Waltz said confronting antisemitism must remain a priority as the U.N. prepares for leadership changes and debates over its future direction. He placed combating antisemitism within that broader reform push, alongside other policy priorities and future leadership decisions at the world body.
“So those are just some of the things in addition to… taking on antisemitism… getting… good, strong leadership in the U.N. going forward that we hope to get done during our time here.”
