Israel’s big brother is back and he’s pi##ed! :)
After the postponement of the vote, an Israeli official told Reuters news agency that it had warned the Obama administration in advance that it would appeal to the president-elect if the US abstained, and confirmed that it had directly asked Mr Trump to intervene.
Egyptian President Abdel al-Sisi also spoke to Mr Trump by telephone. In a statement, Mr Sisi’s office said the two leaders had agreed the new US administration should be given a chance to deal with the issue.
Mr Trump takes over as US president on 20 January.
However, four other members of the security council warned that if Egypt did not press ahead with its resolution before the end of Thursday, other member states would do so.
New Zealand, Venezuela, Malaysia, and Senegal said they reserved the right to move ahead with the vote.
None of the four are permanent members of the council, but are serving two-year terms.
