Israel expects world community to oppose Palestinian efforts at UN
Israel expects the “responsible” members of the international community to adamantly oppose Palestinian efforts to have the UN Security Council impose an Israeli-Palestinian agreement that skirts the needs for direct negotiations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.
Netanyahu’s comments came at the top of a meeting with Indiana Governor Mike Pence, on the eve of the presentation to the UN Security Council of a Palestinian resolution calling for a full IDF withdrawal to the pre-1967 lines by 2017.
Netanyahu said that if the international community did not reject the Palestinian proposal, then Israel would. “Israel will oppose conditions that will endanger our future,” he said.
