A Bipartisan Repudiation of President Obama

Published



The House of Representatives on Thursday voted to condemn a United Nations resolution critical of Israeli settlements as anti-Israel and one-sided, in a rebuke of the Obama administration’s decision to allow the resolution to pass.

The U.N. resolution, which passed in late December 14 to 0 with an abstention from the United States, declares Israeli settlements a “flagrant violation under international law” and describes east Jerusalem and the Western Wall as “occupied Palestinian territory.” Thursday’s House resolution passed 342 to 80, with Democrats and Republicans decrying the administration’s abstention and the U.N. resolution itself.
