rael fears that the United States and France want to advance another move on the Israeli-Palestinian issue before President Obama leaves office on January 20.
A senior official in Jerusalem said that during Sunday’s security cabinet meeting, ministers were presented with an assessment that during the international foreign ministers’ meeting scheduled for January 15 in Paris as part of the French peace initiative, a series of decisions on the peace process will be made. These will immediately be brought to the UN Security Council for a vote and will be adopted there before January 20.
The move presented to the ministers led Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to tell the Likud ministers during their subsequent meeting that Friday’s vote in the Security Council on the settlements was not the end of the story and that there are liable to be other steps taken by the international community, the official added.
Representatives of the Foreign Ministry, the National Security Council and others who attended the security cabinet meeting presented information indicating that the trend in talks between France, the U.S. and other countries in preparation for the foreign ministers’ meeting tended toward advancing such a move, he added.
According to the information that Israel has, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry wants to utilize the foreign ministers’ parley, which will be attended by representatives of dozens of countries, to deliver an address that presents his vision for the two-state solution. The senior official said that Israel fears this address will include American principles for resolving the core issues of borders, refugees, security arrangements and Jerusalem.
“The Foreign Ministry and the National Security Council spoke about information to the effect that what is planned is that the foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris will make a summary decision that will be adopted by the Quartet [on the Middle East] and by the UN Security Council before January 20,” the senior official said. “Israel believes this is an operative plan and the assumption is that the Americans are leading it all, together with the French.”
It was such a fear about the foreign ministers’ meeting in Paris that led Netanyahu to instruct his ministers to avoid public statements to the media about launching a wave of settlement construction or annexing parts of the West Bank in response to Friday’s Security Council resolution.
“The effort now is to see how to prevent such a move at the Paris conference,” the senior official said. “That’s why there is no need to provoke and no need to do anything to add fuel to this.”
Earlier on Sunday, Netanyahu summoned the American ambassador to Israel to clarify matters over the UN Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements. Netanyahu has also stepped up the diplomatic response to the UN vote and ordered the government to reduce ties with the 12 countries that supported the resolution.

Pretty crazy really, doing things like this in the last days of an administration. Can’t possibly follow up on it, just doing damage. It shouts that Obama lied about his agenda for 8 years.
January 20th can’t come fast enough... this may be the most dangerous time in our Republics history...Lame ducks should have limitations after the elections...
The UN Security Council is a farcical embarrassment to patriots in so many countries - time for Trump/Pence = MAGA!
NUKE the United Nations! :^)
“Lame duck” or Lamé duck? HA!
Obama.Soros.and their UnitedNAZI comrades can vote all the want
vote vote vote vote, Nazis, vote your little hearts out
it is only giving the Israeli government the courage or at least the wisdom it has so unfortunately lacked for so very long, to finally start building its long-deferred and MUCH-needed housing for its people. And yes, the land belongs to Israel..and will remain hers. Period.
I guess when the Founding Fathers put the phrase "natural born citizen" in the list of requirements they figured they had that loop-hole covered.
They probably assumed a hawk-eyed Congress, a patriotic American People, and a sense of duty and honor in those seeking the office of the Chief Executive wouldn't stand for such a blatant outrage. Unfortunately, they were wrong.
How did this strange circumstance arise, whereby the United States believes our policies regarding Israeli security should be held in higher regard than those of the Israelis themselves. Is Israel allowed to determine the security policies of the USA? Of course not. I’m a patriot, but here I ask who the hell do we actually think we are. Otraitor and Lurch just stabbed our best ally (better than Greatbritainstan) in the back. It’s a sad day.
UN Resolutions etc etc mean nothing without the military force to enforce them
Every Jew and Christian alive represents a failure of Obama’s foreign and domestic policy.

Some of us hoped that Russia might veto the anti-Israel resolution just passed. We often hear about the good relations between Russia and Israel. I’m not sure of the motives on each side of that, but if Putin wanted to make a statement and also score some points with Trump, a Russian veto of any future UN nonsense directed at Israel would definitely raise some eyebrows.
It almost tells me there is no PLAN.
This resettlement all over the world is not working.
Who came up with that anyway? I am tired of these deep secrets that kill people in home nations.
Lets create a safe-zone for all refugees in the Middle East and kill Al Quaida.
Somebody will need to be installed over many Nations.
Yes, we might have hit a hornets nest but never followed through.
Trump can’t let this proceed unattended. He will have to put a CLOSE warning shot over the bow of the UN. Defunding to fair share contribution would initiate the potential intent.
I fear that the UN may recognize the Palestinian state.
