(Worthy News) – The Trump administration on Thursday voted against the United Nations’ 2021 program budget, citing its continued support of an “anti-Israel” event and the failure to implement a mechanism to monitor Iran’s weapon use.
“Today this body is poised to adopt a budget that reflects such an accommodation that extends a shameful legacy of hate, anti-Semitism, and anti-Israel bias,” U.N. Ambassador Kelly Craft said. “The United States rejects this effort and called for this vote to make clear that we stand by our principles, stand up for what is right, and never accept consensus for consensus’ sake.”
Craft gave a number of reasons for the U.S. nay vote, including the funding for an event commemorating the controversial 2001 Durban Declaration and Program of Action (DDPA). The U.S. has long opposed the Durban Declaration since it was adopted in Durban, South Africa in 2001 citing concerns that it is anti-Israel and anti-Semitic. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
