On April 20, Focus magazine reported that Berbok's appointment to the post of chairman of the UN General Assembly could prevent Germany from joining the organization's Security Council. According to the newspaper's authors, Burbok is perceived as a pro-Israel politician in a number of African, Latin American and Asian countries.
