U.S. Opposes Five New Anti-Israel Resolutions at UN General Assembly
(U.S. Mission to the UN) Acting U.S. Deputy Representative to the UN Cherith Norman Chalet said Tuesday, "The United States once again opposed the five resolutions voted upon today, which are entirely biased against Israel. These are in addition to the ten other resolutions in the General Assembly this year that criticize Israel....This one-sided approach only undermines trust among the Israelis, Palestinians, and the international community, and fails to create the kind of positive environment critical to achieving peace." "Member states continue to disproportionally single out Israel year after year through these types of resolutions. It is regrettable that the United Nations - an institution founded upon the idea that all nations should be treated equally - should be so often used by member states to treat one state in particular, Israel, unequally....The cause of peace will be served when the bias promoted in these resolutions against Israel ends."
