A Look at the UN Vote on Gaza
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - In Wednesday's vote in the UN General Assembly on motions having to do with the recent violence in Gaza, a U.S.-backed amendment condemning Hamas violence failed to muster the necessary two-thirds majority. But all 28 EU countries voted for the U.S. amendment. In Africa, all but eight African countries voted against Israel, including Kenya and Uganda, where Prime Minister Netanyahu has visited over the last two years. Only Togo voted for Israel, while South Sudan, Malawi, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Liberia, Ghana and Rwanda abstained. India and Greece voted against Israel on the final resolution, while Cyprus abstained. Other EU countries voting against Israel in the final vote included France, Spain, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium, Slovenia, Malta and Luxembourg.
