Trump turns to “the utter weakness and incompetence of the United Nations.
“The UN is not a friend to democracy, not a friend to freedom, not a friend to the US where it has its home, and surely not a friend to Israel.”
He bashes Obama explicitly: “With President Obama in his final year – yay” – a mixture of clapping and booing ensues, so he doubles down – “he may be the worst thing to ever happen to Israel, and you know it, you know it better than anybody.”
And returns to his speech, railing against an “attempt to bring an agreement on peace between Israel and Palestine. Let me be clear: an agreement imposed by the United Nations will be a total and complete disaster. The US must oppose this resolution and use the power of veto, which I will use as president, 100%.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
