Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the Subcommittee on the Middle East and North Africa, made the following statement in response to a postponed anti-Israel resolution that was offered at the United Nations Security Council. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen: “While this destructive and discriminatory anti-Israel resolution should have never been offered in the first place, I am glad to see that Egypt did the right thing and postponed the vote. If a similar measure is offered again, the Obama administration must stick with longstanding U.S. policy and veto any UN Security Council resolution that isolates and undermines our partner and ally, the democratic Jewish State of Israel. Allowing this resolution to pass would only serve to embolden the Palestinian Authority’s attempts to achieve unilateral statehood and will damage any prospects for a negotiated peace. Congress has made it abundantly clear that the only way forward is through direct negotiations, and any action that the Security Council may take against Israel will be met with an appropriate response.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
