Not really, but good for them.
Given the long and extensive history of Israeli espionage against the USA, I have to wonder what kind of "strongest ally" this is.
You don’t recall Nasser’s calls for war and the blocking of The Straits of Tiran, in itself an act of war a couple of weekks earlier!
I'm disputing the other poster's assertion about a surprise attack on the part of Israel's enemies.
62.5% of all of Palestine’s GDP comes from US government aid - while only 3.5% of Israel’s does. Trump has repeatedly said that as soon as he is sworn into into office on Jan 20th he will end all the US aid to Palestine ... and give it to Israel instead.
So it doesn’t matter what the UN rules on, by April Palestine will have run out of money and will cease to exist. Israel can then build wherever it likes.
Will Muslim countries make up the cash difference and so save Palestine? No because fighting and killing other Muslims in Iraq, Syria and Yemen is more important to them than saving Palestine.
Even more; all of Israel’s main trading partners - India, US, China, EU, Russia, Turkey and Egypt have all said they would ignore any UN ban on trading with Israel.
Israel has won.
Israel has won.
