UN halts Israel settlement bid
Following the supposed quick resolution Friday by the United Nation in halting Israel's settlement along the west bank towards stamping their authority as absolute right owner overlong time foe Palestinian had continued to raise dust both in Washington and Israel as the two nation remains at a sharp bend with the submissions of the UN vote
which declared built structures as illegal.
The vote which saw the US play neutral made an easy passage as the US failed to submit their unflinching support which gave the policy an easy ride at the UN resolution. Such display by the US to play non partisan contradicts an age long stance in vetoing any anti-Israel policy most especially at the world stage where their decision matters most.
Applause broke out in the 15-member Security Council’s chambers after the vote on the measure, which passed 14 to 0, with the United States ambassador, Samantha Power, raising her hand as the lone abstention. Israel’s ambassador, Danny Danon, denounced the measure, and castigated the council members who had approved it.
Ms. Power said the United States chose not to veto the resolution, as it had done to a similar measure under Mr. Obama in 2011, because settlement building had accelerated so much that it had put the two-state solution in jeopardy, and because the peace process had gone nowhere.
This however gave the UN resolution its first credence since 1979 in her argument countering Israel over its settlement policy. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not only frowns at the Obama's administration in her last minutes sordid ties with one of her long standing ally in the middle east, but had also criticize the resolution calling it "Shameful" at all levels of been reasonable on the path of the UN.
The resolution describes the settlement building as a “major obstacle” to peace and demands that Israel stop the construction, which most the world regards as illegal.
Giving voice to Prime Minister Netanyahu's call is president elect Trump who says such call resolution by the UN will make certain moves even more difficult in the negotiation of a peace deal among the warring faction most specifically on the path of the Israeli government. Mr.Trump who expresses his anger however hinted that he would do all he can to ensure such moves enters the right channel in due cause.
Trump also believes the United States could use his veto powers in blocking such resolution as he urges the white house to look further into such exploits.Trump who during his campaign vows to bring back Israel's seat of government to Jerusalem couldn't but express his shock over such resolution. "As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations," he said in a statement.
The resolution condemned Israeli housing construction in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank as a “flagrant violation under international law” that was “dangerously imperiling the viability” of a future peace settlement establishing a Palestinian state.
