Benjamin Netanyahu Has This Badass Response To Those Calling Israel ‘Occupier’

The move comes in the wake of a UN Security Council resolution that demanded an end to Israeli settlement activity.

According to him, as the draft resolution was circulated, US said to those on the Security Council what further changes were needed to make the text more balanced.

“What I’ll say is that we reject the notion that the United States was the driving force behind this resolution”.

The U.N. vote against Israel could actually be a setback for the so-called “two-state” solution. Describing himself as a “lifelong friend of Israel”, Kerry defended the U.S.

It has been confirmed the United Kingdom helped with drafts of the resolution with Egypt and the Palestinians in a bid to ensure that it met with the concerns of the USA president, Barack Obama.

Kerry is set to give a speech Wednesday morning from the State Department to explain the Obama administration’s vision for the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. Friedman has been described as a hard-liner who does not support a two-state solution to peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and wants to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – a decision that could inflame the already tense situation there, according to analysts. Palestinians have been seeking full independence for the occupied territories for decades and demand full recognition as a sovereign state from both the United Nations and the global community.

Israeli Prime Benjamin Netanyahu decided on Monday to reduce its diplomatic ties with the member states of the UN Security Council, which passed a resolution last week that condemned Israeli settlement activities in occupied Palestinian territories.

He said the plans will be brought forward at a later date, though it was unclear when.

The continued expansion of Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine has created a major obstacle to the efforts to establish peace in the Middle East.

Revivi made the remarks ahead of Kerry’s speech.

Settlements are built on land the Palestinians view as part of their future state and seen as illegal under global law.

Kerry and Rice, according to the Egyptian report, also told the Palestinians not to make any provocative moves, such as halting security cooperation with Israel, trying to prosecute Israeli officials at the International Criminal Court, or dissolving the PA itself, before the inauguration of President-Elect Donald Trump on January 20. He further recommended that the Palestinians send a delegation to Riyadh to present the terms to Saudi leaders.

Israel will also curb its foreign ministers’ travel to those 10 countries, which are Britain, France, Russia, China, Japan, Ukraine, Angola, Egypt, Uruguay and Spain.

“The combination of the changes in the United States, in Europe and the region provide Israel with a unique opportunity to reset and rethink everything”, Israeli Education Minister Naftali Bennet said.
