U.S. ABSTAINS ON CRITICAL U.N. VOTE


Betsy DeVos, AFC Chairman

Israel is re-assessing its options following the December 23, 2016, adoption by the United Nations Security Council of a resolution, including East Jerusalem, demanding an end to Israeli settlement building, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. The vote was able to pass the 15-member council because the United States broke with a long-standing approach of diplomatically shielding Israel and did not wield its veto power as it had on many times beforeā€”a decision Netanyahu called ā€œshameful.ā€ The United States abstained in the Security Council decision, which passed with 14 votes in favor.

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 122:6.
PRAY: The U.S. returns as Israelā€™s greatest friend.
ACTION: Go to the Salt & Light table. Write a postcard to your U.S. legislators: ā€œDear Sen./Rep. (Name), I urge Congress to support Israelā€™s Biblical right to exist as a Jewish nation.ā€
