Israeli Envoy Sees Firm U.S. Support at UN
[Reuters] Dan Williams - The Obama administration has assured Israel it will continue defending Israel at the UN despite the allies' dispute over West Bank settlements, Israel's UN ambassador Gabriela Shalev said on Monday. Asked by Israel's Channel 10 television whether U.S. use of a veto at the UN Security Council to protect Israel could be at risk, Shalev said: "We were told explicitly (by the Americans) that there are no consultations and no discussions at all within the administration in this direction."
