Israel purchased a sewage treatment system for Nauru a tiny island nation in the Pacific Ocean only two weeks before the country voted against a UN General Assembly resolution condemning the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
According to the website of Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper the Israeli foreign ministry’s tenders committee approved the purchase of the sewage treatment plant at a cost $71997 without a tender.
While Nauru is only 21 square kilometers in size with a population of a mere 11359 people it still has a vote at the UN equal to that of the US Russia and China.
