US envoy to UN doesn’t rule out
advancing decisions targeting Israel but says Washington will be there ‘when it
matters’
The United States would continue to “work closely” with Israel at the
United Nations but would not rule out advancing resolutions targeting
Israel, the US ambassador to the world body said.
Samantha Power testified Wednesday before the
foreign operations subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee of the
US House of Representatives.
Rep. Nita Lowey, D-NY, the top Democrat on the
committee and the subcommittee, told Power that she was troubled by
reports “suggesting a reevaluation of our long-standing policy of
defending Israel at the UN” and said “supporting or remaining agnostic”
on UN resolutions targeting Israel would violate the 1993 Oslo peace
accords.(READ MORE)
