When Egypt submitted its proposal to the UN Security Council Wednesday evening condemning Israel for building in Judea and Samaria, eyebrows were not raised in Jerusalem. The Israeli delegation to the UN has long prepared for such a proposal and estimates that it has a good chance of passing, due to the fact that a majority of the Security Council is hostile towards Israel.
However, the final approval of the proposal, which will be tabled for vote at 10 PM Israel time on Thursday, is dependent on whether the US uses its veto power.
It is, as yet, unclear how the Americans will act in this case since their ambassador to the UN has not received a directive from President Obama concerning this issue, as Obama is presently on vacation.
The proposal was submitted by Egypt, but it was prepared by the Palestinians, who cannot submit a proposal of their own.
The proposal states that all of the Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria are to be considered "illegal." Similarly, Israel should return to the 1967 borders and stop all construction in Judea, Samaria and east Jerusalem.
The proposal does not relate to Palestinian terror in particular, but only calls for a "cessation of violence on both sides."

I am disappointed that Egypt took the lead on this resolution. I don’t know why its leadership decided that they needed to do this.
Egypt is calling obammy’s poker hand for his interference in Egypt during the Arab spring... Israel is aware of what Egypt is doing
Because if they wait until Trump appoints the US UN rep it will fail.
The UN has zero authority over Israel.
Earn street cred with Moslems who call them traitors, fully expecting the US to veto it. I have a bad feeling this time around. Obama’s out there on the golf course, making Donald’s transition smooth, maybe by planning to indirectly cause the destruction of Israel, first by not vetoing the resolution, then not vetoing sanctions, etc., etc. Now watch this swing! FORE!
I would JUST LOVE to see Russia veto it. One of the many spiked stories these days is just how close Russia and Israel now are.
And the snowflakes will take it as proof positive that Donald and Russia are in cahoots, because Russia prevented Obama and the UN from embarrassing Donald by killing off an ally, which to them is all it’s about.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
