U.S. Only Country to Stand with Israel at UN
Jerusalem Post | Tovah Lazaroff | July 3, 2015
The United States was the only country to support Israel and to oppose a United Nations Human Rights Council resolution on Friday to hold the Jewish state and Palestinian armed groups accountable for human rights violations during its war with Hamas in Gaza last summer.
“We are troubled that this current resolution focuses exclusively on alleged Israeli violations, without any expressed reference to Palestinian violations,” US Ambassador to the UN in Geneva Keith Harper said as he explained why his country voted against the resolution.
