The UN General Assembly adopted yesterday five anti-Israel resolutions, which are part of a package of 20 pro-Palestinian texts approved annually each December with a significant UN majority. One of the texts condemns Israeli occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and is against any annexation plans, a second text condemns Israeli occupation of the Golan Heights, and the remaining three are related to the work of UN committees on the Palestinian issue and Palestinian refugees.
Ahead of the vote, Israel’s envoy to the UN Gilad Erdan lambasted UN members for targeting Israel only, reminding the plenum that no other country has so many resolutions leveled against it as Israel. Erdan also chastised UN members for ignoring the great developments on the normalization of diplomatic ties with Gulf states.
