1. UN votes against Israeli settlements as US abstains
By Mark Moore December 23, 2016
The UN Security Council passed a controversial anti-settlement resolution that condemns Israel building in occupied territories.
The US abstained in the vote that was approved by 14 of the council’s 15 members to applause. The resolution first introduced by Egypt in coordination with the Palestinians calls Israel “settlement building” in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank a “flagrant violation under international law” and demands Israel discontinue all settlement activities immediately.
A veto by the US – or any of the five permanent members of the council – would have killed it.
Speaking to the body after the vote, Susan Power, the US Ambassador to the United Nations, explained why the White House did not rise to defeat it.
“Further settlement activity is in no way necessary for the security of Israel,” she said.
