Charles Krauthammer writes in his syndicated column Friday about the United Nations’s cultural agency’s recent decision to condemn the state of Israel—and the Obama administration’s apparent acquiesence to the global campaign by nations hostile to Israel against the United States’s strongest ally in the Middle East:
Krauthammer goes on to note Bernie Sanders’s efforts to change the Democratic party platform to be less friendly to Israel, as well as the Hillary Clinton campaign’s fear of inciting party activists with language that would be perceived as too friendly to the Jewish state.
“As John Hannah of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies recently wrote (in Foreign Policy), there have been indications for months that President Obama might go to the U.N. and unveil his own final status parameters of a two-state solution,” Krauthammer writes. “These would then be enshrined in a new Security Council resolution that could officially recognize a Palestinian state on the territory Israel came into possession of during the 1967 Six-Day War.”
Republicans in Congress, meanwhile, have been urging the White House to speak out against the UNESCO resolution, as THE WEEKLY STANDARD reported last week.
