US reportedly mulling cutting UN funding over settlement blacklist
US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley is reportedly threatening to cut funding to UN bodies over a document being written up that singles out companies doing business with Israeli settlements.
The so-called settlement blacklist has been called “shameful” by Haley and Israeli officials have railed against its creation.
According to Israel’s Channel 2, one the bodies that may have funding cut is the UN Human Rights Council, which is drawing up the list and has been bashed by US officials for its anti-Israel bias.
