Congressman Sherman, a senior Democratic Member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee issued the following statement: The UNSC resolution against Israel marks an unfortunate change in U.S. policy in support of Israel at the United Nations; we vetoed a similar resolution in 2011. Opponents of Israel took advantage of America’s democratic transition to pass a resolution that the U.S. vetoed in 2011, and American would veto in the next Administration. This is a sneaky maneuver to pass a one-sided resolution on Israel just before a new Administration takes office. Yesterday, Congressman Sherman sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to direct the U.S. Ambassador to the UN to veto the anti-Israel resolution. Before today’s vote, Congressman Sherman spoke with New Zealand’s ambassador to the U.S., urging New Zealand to abandon its co-sponsorship of the one-sided UNSC resolution. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
