US Votes against UN Censure of “Israel” over Golan

Local Editor

For the first time, the United States voted Friday against an annual UN resolution condemning the Zionist entity’s occupation of the Golan Heights, dropping its practice of abstaining in the vote.

The nonbinding resolution was adopted in a General Assembly committee by a vote of 151 to 2, with the United States and “Israel” the only two parties opposing the measure.

Fourteen countries, however, abstained.

US Ambassador Nikki Haley claimed the resolution is “useless” and “plainly biased against “Israel”,” citing concerns about Iran’s military role in Syria to oppose the measure.

The Zionist occupation entity seized control of much of the Golan Heights from Syria in a 1967 war and later annexed it, in moves never recognized by the international community.

The resolution declares that the “Israeli” decision to occupy and annex the Golan was “null and void,” and calls on it to rescind that decision.

“Israeli” Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon applauded the US shift, which he said was “another testament to the strong cooperation.”
