I join the United Nations Security Council and all who seek peace in the Middle East in condemning the destructive and uncontrolled Israeli settlements. "I applaud President Obama for allowing the U.N. Security Council to approve the anti-settlement resolution by a vote of 14-0, with the United States abstaining. Only justice and human rights will bring a lasting peace to Israelis and Palestinians." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
