Israels envoy slams Security Council
from General Podcast · host Channel Africa
In its first meeting on the Palestinian question since a landmark resolution demanding Israel halt its settlement activity in occupied territory late last year, the Security Council received a firm rebuke from Israel's envoy who labeled the Council's action an inspiration for terror. Ambassador Danny Danon sited the Palestinian driven truck attack on soldiers in Jerusalem last week that killed four while injuring dozens among a host of examples while announcing the suspension of several millions from its annual contribution to the UN for 2017. The Palestinian envoy for his part, said the resolution not only revived hope in the prospects for peace but revived convictions in international law and the Council's credibility. Sherwin Bryce-Pease reports.
