American condemnation of Israel in the Security Council, Netanyahu's office: "a statement that should not have been made" | Israel today

The Prime Minister's Office against the American administration:

After the American representative stated in the Security Council that "the USA is deeply disturbed by the violence in Israel and the West Bank", in Jerusalem they came out against what they called a "unilateral statement".

According to the Prime Minister's Office, "the statement ignores the Palestinian terrorist attacks, turns a blind eye to the Palestinian Authority's terrorizing and dwarfs the anti-Semitism that led to the murder of millions of Jews.

The statement should not have been made and the United States should not have joined it."

The UN Security Council met this evening (Israel time) at the request of the Palestinians to lead a move against the State of Israel. Before the speech of the Israeli ambassador Gilad Erdan, the American representative gave a harsh speech against Israel in which she said that "We condemn the terrorist attacks, including the attack outside a synagogue and the attack on civilians including children in Jerusalem.

The US supports Israel's right to self-defense."

Later she said: "We strongly oppose Israel's decision to build 10,000 housing units and qualify nine outposts in violation of Israeli law. This undermines the ability to talk about a two-state solution and the US does not support these actions.

The continuation of the settlements is not helpful and takes away from negotiations on the two-state solution."

"They were murdered for being Jews"

Ardan and the Israeli delegation observed a minute's silence in memory of the two children of the late Plai family, who were murdered in an attack in the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem about ten days ago.

In his speech, Ambassador Erdan harshly attacked the council members who gathered to condemn Israel for working to protect its citizens from Palestinian terrorism: "Where was your 'concern' and 'anxiety' when Palestinians celebrated the death of innocent Jews in murderous attacks? During the past few weeks, the State of Israel I mourn the death of 11 victims of terrorism and dozens of wounded. But to our astonishment, we are not here today to condemn the Palestinian terrorist acts that resulted in this loss of life."

Erdan went on to attack the members of the council and said that "Palestinian President Abu Mazen did not even condemn the acts of murder and terrorism and while the Palestinians were handing out sweets to the crowds who celebrated the murder of our citizens, Fatah officials treated the attack on the synagogue as an act of heroism. And the Security Council does not see fit to address and condemn all of this Not coincidentally, Haj Amin Al Husseini and the Palestinian leadership at the time, were close allies of Hitler and later led the rejection of the UN partition plan in 1947. Nothing has changed since then, the main goal of the Palestinians remains the same - to prevent the existence of A Jewish state".

In his speech, the ambassador told the story of the 11 murdered in the recent terrorist attacks, among them the brothers Yaakov and Asher Plai, aged six and eight, who were murdered in the stampede attack in Jerusalem.

"These two beautiful children were murdered by an evil Palestinian terrorist - just because they were Jews. You should have convened the council today to condemn the price that innocent Israelis are paying for the incitement and hatred of the Palestinian Authority. I will not let the victims be forgotten. That is why I will stand up now for a minute A moment of silence in their memory and in memory of all the victims of Palestinian terrorism."

The diplomatic "price".

With the intervention of the Americans and senior officials in Israel, at the last minute the action was replaced by a Palestinian statement of condemnation with American support against Israel's construction policy in the territories of Judea and Samaria.

The diplomatic "price" that Israel had to pay was an announcement by the Prime Minister's office that it had pledged to the Americans that it would not settle new settlements in the Yash beyond the nine settlements that were approved last week.

"Israel Hayom" learned that the commitment to stop the regularization procedures of additional settlements in the Yash was given by Netanyahu for only six months and after last week the political and security cabinet approved the regularization of the nine settlements, the construction of 10,000 housing units as well as the acceleration of the regularization procedures as a whole of the young settlement This is also the reason why the ministers of the right-wing parties did not come out against the announcement of the Prime Minister's office, while the chairman of religious Zionism, finance minister Bezalel Smotrich, even pledged again at the faction's meeting that "there will be no construction freeze in the Yash".
