Is Anti-Israel Sentiment Diminishing at the UN?
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - There were 17 pro-Palestinian or anti-Israel resolutions approved by the UN General Assembly in 2020, down from 18 in 2019 and 21 in 2018. A resolution affirming the work of a special committee to investigate alleged Israeli human rights abuses was approved 76-14, with 83 abstentions. In 2019 it passed 82-11, 78. In both instances, more nations abstained or voted against, than approved it. Both France and the UK voted against Israel 11 times. The U.S. was the only country to vote with Israel against all the resolutions.
