UN Security Council drops vote calling on Israel to cease settlement activity
|
[JPost] The US voiced deep dismay at Israel's decision to expand settlements but also described a push for the UN to denounce the move as "unhelpful."
The UN Security Council is not expected to vote on a resolution condemning West Bank settlements that was scheduled for Monday after the United Arab Emirates pulled the text.
The UAE is now seeking a consensus statement against Israeli settlement activity that is less controversial.

"Given the positive talks between the parties, we are now working on a draft PRST [presidential statement] which would garner consensus," the UAE said in a note it sent to the UNSC on Sunday.
"Accordingly, there will not be a vote on the draft resolution on Monday. Much of the language of the PRST will be drawn from the draft resolution."
That resolution had been expected to call on Israel to "immediately and completely cease all settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory," according to a note seen by Reuters.
