Israel refuses to recognise UN vote on settlements

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he will not abide by the UN Security Council resolution demanding an end to illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land.

Israel has also recalled its ambassadors to New Zealand and Senegal after the two countries co-sponsored the resolution.

It's quite shocking that Israel can literally blackmail the entire room if it does not get it's way.

[bahman]

how does stealing palstinian land will help peace and better life for Palestinians.

[emeritus]

What negotiations,  what progress, what peace? Israel has never honestly wanted any of this, their objectives are clear, the elimination of the Palestinians or at the very least to be uninterrupted while creating the perfect apartheid regime.

Funny how they only don’t agree with resolutions that are against them.

[poketehcringley]

I'm really sad the many Arab countries are giving up on Palestine. You shouldn't be doing this, support Palestine forever, no matter what!

Speaking like a true villain when he plans to something evil.

Rather than pulling out of the UN, just give the 30 billion plus yearly to the UN instead of Netanyahu.

Where is democracy then if majority votes are not accepted?

[josmooth]

We need to realise these people lie for a living, it comes so naturally. He talks of peace, how long have they talked about peace and meanwhile how much land have they stolen. What disgusting people, boycott them!

[umairhussnain]

Its occupations instead of settlements!

Alhamdulillah. May Allah weaken the occupiers and colonials of Palestine-Ameen. May Allah save Palestinians from oppression, killings, harassment, torture, abuse-Ameen. Allah is the source of strength.

This is what happens when the Israeli lobby has bought and paid for most of the US congress - they can depend on the US veto and also over 10 Billion in aid yearly even though many thousands sleep on the streets in the USA.

[redankulous]

What good is the UN if resolutions aren’t enforced or respected.

[henryvagincourt]

I'm quite ashamed the UK didn't stop this.
