Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells the story of a major drama that unfolded behind the scenes at the UN Security Council shortly before former US President Barack Obama left office.
New details about some drama involving Israel, Russia, and the US that played out behind the scenes at the United Nations Security Council some four years ago are coming to light.
more.... It appears that Russia demonstrated a rare willingness to use its UNSC veto on Israel's behalf to block a resolution led by then-US President Barack Obama, which would have compelled Israel to set up a Palestinian state based on the 1948 borders.
Approximately six months ago, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at an election rally in Maaleh Adumim that he had asked a "friend," whom he referred to as "the leader of one of the superpowers who holds veto power in the UN Security Counci," to vote against the resolution. Netanyahu credited that leader, whom he did not name, with stopping the resolution.
In a recent closed-door meeting, Netanyahu revealed more details about the unusual event.
Toward the end of Obama's second term in office, the US spearheaded UNSC Resolution 2334, which states that Israel is in violation of international law by its presence in the territories captured in the 1967 Six-Day War. Israel realized at the time that the US administration was coordinating the resolution with the Palestinians and Europeans, but had no way of blocking it without support from the US.
On Nov. 24, 2016, Netanyahu called Russian President Vladimir Putin and explained that the resolution Obama was working to pass would disrupt regional stability and harm Israel. Netanyahu asked Putin to state that he intended to use his UNSC veto to scupper the resolution. But Putin refused. On Dec. 23, 2016, the UNSC passed Resolution 2334, although then-US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power ultimately abstained.
However, Obama had additional plans, even though he had less than a month left in the White House. He and his staff began working on another UNSC resolution, which would have forced Israel to agree to a Palestinian state based on the 1948 borders. Israel's UN ambassador at the time, Danny Danon, sounded the alarm.

yes indeed, and Obama messed up several countries with his Moslem terrorist gangs in Central Africa, too....
And where was Joe Biden?
Apparently forcing an aide against a bookshelf.
Russia seeks to advance her own self interest, like any rational nation should. If stability in the MidEast is in Russia’s interests, then she will seek to maintain stability. Putting the despicable Obama regime in a twist is a free bonus.
As long as the muzzie atrocity is bulldozed off first, I’m cool.

I love this thread
Strikes me as a typical Tuesday on FR, although I agree with much posted here.
What makes you love it?
(Purely a personal curiosity question and feel free to tell me to get lost.)
Why? I was pulled into a number of charges conversations today. Day after day, it gets old.
I like the simplicity and clarity of this thread. It’s clean.
I’m down with CW3 now, too. I don’t see how generation snowflake will defend this country anyway. God, I’m glad my folks have passed. I do feel sorry for the good young folk, though.
People here are mucking s#it up, while Russians consecrate a glorious cathedral, right down to removing Putin’s name from it. Mr KGB went along with it. I’m beginning to think I could like Russians.
*charged conversations

I find it hard to believe that Netenyahu or any other Israeli Prime Minister would have established a Palestinian state of any kind just because the UN said to.
