The United States is currently responsible for approximately 22 percent of the United Nations total budget. “If the United Nations moves forward with the ill-conceived resolution, I will work to form a bipartisan coalition to suspend or significantly reduce United States assistance to the United Nations. “In addition, any nation which backs this resolution and receives assistance from the United States will put that assistance in jeopardy. “There is a reason the United States has long opposed these type efforts directed at Israel -- the only way to achieve a lasting peace by the parties negotiating directly and not using the United Nations as a blunt instrument against Israel. This was President Obama's position in 2011 and it should be his position today.” #### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
