Outgoing Israeli Ambassador Spotlights Obama’s Egregious Betrayal

“It was a moment I will never forget…I think the [UNSC] resolution was the lowest place in decades regarding Israel and the US.” says Israeli ambassador of Obama’s choreographed betrayal of the Jewish State at the United Nations.

By Ryan Jones

 

Danny Danon last week conducted his final press conference as Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations.

His tenure in that position was punctuated by passionate Scripture-based lectures defending Israel’s divine claim to the Holy Land. More than once he opened the Bible before his mostly secular colleagues and read to them form the Word of God.

Following US betrayal at UN, Israel turns to Putin to nix Obama’s next attempt

Newly declassified phone-call transcripts confirm Netanyahu lobbied both Putin and incoming Trump team to squash Obama’s second anti-Israel UN Security Council initiative, generally recognized as ‘incompatible with Israel’s long-term security needs.’

By i24NEWS

 

In late 2016, Russian President Vladimir Putin prevented former U.S. President Barack Obama’s attempt to pass a United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolution demanding Israel relinquish the West Bank territories and accept a two-state resolution based on 1948 borders, freshly declassified documents appear to show.

The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that phone conversations between U.S. President Donald Trump’s former adviser Michael Flynn and former Russian UN Ambassador Sergey Kislyak confirm that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lobbied both the Kremlin and the incoming Trump administration to curb the initiative he perceived as incompatible with Israel’s long-term security needs.

REVEALED: Following Obama betrayal at UNSC, Israel sought Putin’s protection

Why, 3.5 years after the Obama White House betrayal of Israel at UN Security Council, did PM Netanyahu tell “in a closed meeting” this week how he turned to Russian President Putin to stop a second American anti-Israeli resolution at the United Nations?

By LAHAV HARKOV

 

Three and a half years after UN Security Council Resolution 2334 condemning Israeli settlement activity passed thanks to an US abstention, as opposed to their usual veto, new details published this week raised new questions.

When the resolution passed in December 2016, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his government’s representatives in the US were furious. Continue Reading »

Abbas: ‘We’re ready to talk peace’… but first, 2 preconditions

Although the Palestinian autocrat opined ‘there is no potential for a political solution’ with U.S. President Trump, Abbas said, “I will go to the White House and continue what I started.”

By MAAYAN JAFFE-HOFFMAN

 

Palestinians are ready to return to the negotiating table with Israel, but with two preconditions: the recognition of Israeli occupation of east Jerusalem and the “vision” of a two-state solution, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas told foreign reporters in Ramallah on Sunday.

The Palestinian president said that he would not ask for anything outside of what is already prescribed by the international community as legitimate, including the most recent United Nations Resolution 2334. Continue Reading »

#MuellerReport: Trump tried to thwart Obama’s anti-Israel UN resolution

The Muller report revealed Michael Flynn testified that before taking office, then President-elect Trump’s team attempted to prevent the infamous UN Security Council Resolution 2334 that Obama would allow to pass, condemning all Jewish presence in Jerusalem (yes, even at the Western Wall), Judea and Samaria.

By Arutz Sheva Staff,

 

The Israeli angle: The Muller report, which examined Russian involvement in the US presidential election, showed that Donald Trump worked to counter anti-Israel bias at the United Nations even before he entered the White House.

According to a report by Barak Ravid for Channel 13 News, Trump, his adviser Jared Kushner and former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, worked with several foreign governments to prevent the Security Council Resolution condemning the Jewish presence over the so-called Green Line in December 2016,

Flynn said during his interrogation by the FBI that Trump and his team saw the thwarted decision as a significant issue. Continue Reading »

REPORT: Obama’s timing of anti-Israel UN resolution was to milk Jewish Donors

NY Times reports how the Obama White House always supported backing the UN Security Council’s anti-Israel Resolution 2334, but delayed its vote until after Jewish donors were secured for Hilary Clinton’s 2016 election bid.

By David Rosenberg

 

The Obama White House may have exerted more influence over a controversial anti-Israel United Nations resolution than previously believed, according to a new report by The New York Times.

In December 2016, following the 2016 presidential election, the Obama administration ordered the US mission to the UN to abstain from a Security Council vote on resolution 2334, which condemned Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, and eastern Jerusalem as ‘flagrant violations’ of international law with “no legal validity”.

By Ynet

Jerusalem asks Washington to nullify Obama’s sanctioned anti-Israel UNSC Resolution 2334

 

Israel’s Foreign Ministry seeks to garner support for abating undue UN criticism and exaggerated focus on Israel by slashing their budget and manpower resources dedicated to just anti-Israel scrutiny, as well as the disproportionate number of Security Council resolutions continuously presented against Israel (at the behest of the Palestinians).

By Itamar Eichner

 

The Israeli Foreign Ministry appealed this week to US Envoy to the UN Nikki Haley to nullify Security Council Resolution 2334 which calls for an end to settlement construction while simultaneously declaring them illegal, both in the West Bank and eastern Jerusalem.

The issue was just one in a series of requests made to Haley, in an effort to garner American support in implementing a number of changes vis-a-vis the world body’s treatment of Israel. Continue Reading »

John Kerry’s more than hour long tirade on settlements was based on falsehoods, distortions, omissions and false moral equivalencies, rendering it entirely one-sided, hence, unrealistic and an obstacle to peace. – YouTube screenshot

“We do not believe that the way to negotiate peace is by focusing on only one issue, in this case the construction of settlements, when clearly the conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians is so deeply complex,” said the spokesman. Continue Reading »

Amb. Bolton Reveals REAL Reason Obama Orchestrated UN Security Council’s Anti-Israel Vote

 

According to John Bolton, former US Ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, President Obama’s intentions were far more devious than just betraying America’s closest ally in an act of utter cowardice.

By Chris Golden
