UN rips Israel over West Bank settlement construction
Fox News
The United Nations Security Council unanimously approved a statement castigating Israel for its continued construction of settlements in disputed West Bank territory.
The deal averted a potential diplomatic crisis, with the U.S. almost certainly vetoing the resolution, which would have angered Palestinian supporters at a time when the U.S. and its Western allies are trying to gain international support against Russia for its war with Ukraine. The war marks its one-year anniversary of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion this week.
But U.S. support for the presidential statement angered Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
