Bolton Warns Obama on «Israel» Action at UN

Local Editor

Former United Nations Ambassador John Bolton warned Sunday that President Barack Obama should not take any actions before leaving office that could hurt the "Israeli" entity at the UN.

Bolton said during a radio interview that there is "a lot of speculation over in Turtle Bay at UN headquarters about resolutions that recognize a Palestinian state or that try and set a boundary for ‘Israel' based on the 1967 ceasefire lines."

"I think that'd be very inadvisable for the president to do that," he said.

Obama said during his final speech as president at the UN General Assembly that the "Israeli" entity would be in a better position if it did not "permanently occupy and settle Palestinian land".

Accordingly, "Israeli" officials also took offense at another part of Obama's address, where he said, "Today, a nation ringed by walls would only imprison itself."

Since 2002, the entity has been constructing a wall in the occupied Palestinian lands, separating parts of the West Bank from the rest of the territories.

Comprised mostly of eight-meter tall concrete blocks that run deep into the ground, the wall would annex 13 percent of the region, allowing the "Israeli" entity to construct new settlements.

The Obama administration had made a reputation for opposing the expansion of the illegal "Israeli" settlements, saying they run counter to the two-state solution that Washington has been promoting for years.

In his interview on Sunday, Bolton said that Trump's transition team is "doing an excellent job," noting that Trump has spoken with various world leaders who have congratulated him on winning the election.

"They're obviously very, very interested in finding out more about him, more about what his administration's priorities are going to be," Bolton said.

Bolton, who served as ambassador to the UN under George W. Bush, is reportedly among those being considered to be secretary of State under Trump.

"I think part of the uncertainty that people feel is that they know that America's foreign policy is going to change. That's what democracy does. You get new leaders and the country moves in a different direction," Bolton said.
