Israel has refused to support a United States Security Council resolution calling on Russia to invade Russia - despite a request from President Joe Biden. As "bridesmaids," that is, they will sign the resolution and express support for it even without voting for it.



Israel dragged its feet and did not give a clear answer to the Americans until midnight on Friday when the Security Council debate began. The United Nations has expressed support for the US resolution.

In a vote, 11 members of the Security Council voted in favor of condemning Russia.

Three countries - China, India and the UAE were avoided.

Russia voted in favor and in fact vetoed the decision.



Next week, the UN General Assembly is expected to vote on a similar condemnation decision. At the UN General Assembly, Russia has no veto and therefore the condemnation proposal is expected to pass by a large majority.

It is estimated that Israel will have no choice but to vote in favor of the decision when it comes to a vote at the UN General Assembly.

An Israeli official told Walla!

"Israel has decided not to join the list of countries sitting in the Security Council decision. Israel is not a member of the Security Council and this is a decision that will not pass in any case because of the Russian veto. Israel's position on the conflict in Ukraine is clear and will be reflected in the UN arena.

We have made it clear to the Allies that we oppose the Russian move as expressed in the Foreign Minister's remarks and we have a set of constraints that they are well aware of. "
