Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon says it is very unlikely that the United Nations Security Council will adopt another anti-Israel resolution when it meets later today.
Speaking to Channel 2, Danon say that this is the last Security Council debate before the new Trump administration takes over on Friday and so the atmosphere is different.
“We expect that there will be a debate in which they will condemn Israel, but there will not be any further resolutions,” he says.
“From the information we have, the US, the UK and France have said they will won’t support an new resolution,” he says.
The world body is set to meet later to discuss “the Palestinian question” in the wake of a mounting campaign in world bodies to restart stalled peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
