(JTA) — Israeli United Nations envoy Ron Prosor has requested that the U.N. Headquarters recognize Yom Kippur as one of its official holidays.

The U.N. Headquarters in New York recognizes 10 official holidays, most of them United States national holidays. The list also includes the Christian holidays of Christmas and Good Friday, and the Muslim holidays of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

Prosor said the exclusion of Yom Kippur, one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays, amounts to discrimination.

“On the one hand, the United Nations advances values of cooperation and engagement among nations, and on the other hand, it is prioritizing one religion over the other,” Prosor said, according to the Times of Israel. “There are three monotheistic religions, yet only two are recognized by the UN calendar. Such discrimination at the UN must end.”
