This resolution is one-sided and unfairly calls out Israel without assigning any blame for the Palestinian role in the current impasse. “I support policies and actions working toward a two-state solution through direct negotiations between the parties, but this resolution does nothing to reinforce direct talks. Worse, by introducing the resolution yesterday and scheduling a vote this week, other members of the Security Council have not had sufficient time to consider the text. “I therefore call on the administration to veto this resolution.” ### Print Email Tweet Next Article Previous Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
