Perry Statement on Anti-Israel UN Resolution | 2016-12-28 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | PA | Scott Perry | P000605 | perry.house.gov | legacy | Rep. Perry Statement on Anti-Israel UN Resolution f t # e Washington, December 28, 2016 York, PARepresentative Scott Perry (R-PA) issued the following statementafter FridaysUN Security Council vote on an anti-Israel resolution and todays explanation from Secretary of State John Kerry on the decision for the US to abstain from the vote: The United States for years regardless of what political party occupied the White House rightly has opposed one-sided or anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations. Not only does President Obamas refusal to veto this resolution defy decades of bipartisan US policy, buthes allowing the UN to serve as an open forum to isolate and delegitimize Israel our closest and only democratic Ally in one of the worlds most unstable regions, said Congressman Perry. Likewise, his decision to allow Secretary Kerry to lay out a framework for an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal, knowing that hes out of office in less than a month and no longer in a position to negotiate any long-term deals, is insulting and serves no purpose except exposing Israel to unnecessary international pressure. Its mind-boggling to me that a false equivalence is being perpetuated in the UN between terrorist acts funded by the Palestinian Authority and Israeli settlement building. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
