Instead our Ambassador sat in silence. Abstaining on this vote handed a victory to the forces that wish to delegitimize Israel. This resolution sets back the cause of peace, erects a bigger wedge between the two sides and hinders critical negotiations. The United States should have exercised its veto power and ended this divisive anti-Israel effort." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
