Israel hits back at UN Security Council for denouncing West Bank settlement activity
(Worthy News) – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday called a UN Security Council statement denouncing Israeli West Bank settlement activity “one-sided” and criticized the United States for supporting it.
“The UN Security Council has released a one-sided statement that disregards the Jewish people’s right to live in their ancestral homeland, ignores Palestinian terrorist attacks, turns a blind eye to the Palestinians funding terrorism and downplays the antisemitism that led to the Holocaust,” Netanyahu’s office said.
“That statement should never have been said and the U.S. should never have joined it.”
The Security Council convened on Monday to discuss the Israeli government’s recent decisions to authorize nine West Bank outposts and advance mass construction in established settlements. [ Source: Ynet News (Read More…) ]
