According to Times of Israel,
Cabinet okays legalization of 9 West Bank outposts in response to Jerusalem attacks
Plans for 10,000 settlement homes to be advanced along with the authorization of outposts, all of which were built without permits and some which on private Palestinian land...
While a presidential statement is largely symbolic and likened by Israeli media to a “glorified press release,” Monday was the first time one had been issued regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in nine years. Still, it lacked the binding nature of a resolution akin to the one adopted in 2016, which more forcefully condemned Israeli settlements.
“The Security Council reiterates that continuing Israeli settlement activities are dangerously imperiling the viability of the two-state solution based on the 1967 lines,” read Monday’s communique.
On Monday the UN Security Council met to criticize Israel's decision to expand settlement building.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield, nominated by Biden on January 20, 2021,
said,
1. "These unilateral measures exacerbate tensions.
2. They harm trust between the parties.
3. They undermine the prospects for a negotiated two-state solution.
4. The United States does not support these actions full stop."
Defense of Israel's position since 1973:
Between June 1967 and December 1972 Israel has established 14 settlements in Golan, 6 in Judea-Samaria, 7o in Gaza (before giving it all to Palestinians) and North Sinai and 6 in East and South Sinai. There are 3 different types of settlements in these administered areas.
1. Nahal villages: where soldier-members become farmers when their service ends, acts as military points like those held by any other unit of the IDF.
2. Civilian villages: where peace treaties should exist in a few years., negotiable.
3. Communities: political future is not expressly covered by Israel's positions. We find that Arab communities are living in Israel, so Israel should be able to copy that. The fact is that Jews are attached to their holy shrines in areas beyond the bounds of pre-1967 Israel. No Israelis would accept any arrangement that banned Jews from dwelling in places which are of religious and historical significance, and one should recall that Judea mostly and Samaria are precious to Jews as that is their homeland. Jews come from Judea !!
There are no other people in the world who has ever been in this position that Jews are facing. Going through every step and demand in the 1920s and receiving their Jewish Homeland through the League of Nations, and then the UN, again, and still be denied and castigated.
Palestinians have no such claim to the land. It's common knowledge how Muslims went into their conquering mode and took Spain, etc. They are doing it here, too, on a modern scale. With Palestinians, their goal is to drive Jews out completely and take the land. Israel knows it but the UN refuses to accept the facts.
Erdan is married with four children, and when in Israel, he lives in Kiryat Ono, a city in the Tel Aviv District of Israel. It is located 11 kilometres (6.8 mi) east of Tel Aviv. In 2019 it had a population of 40,409.
Israel's UN Ambassador Erdan rebuked the council for castigating Israel while ignoring Palestinian terror against Israel.
On May 11, 2020, Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Gilad Erdan, minister of internal security, as Israel’s new ambassador to the UN and in an unusual move, also become the ambassador to the United States after the 2020 elections.
Prime Minister Netanyahu said, "The UN Security Council has .....
1. released a one-sided statement that disregards the Jewish people's right to live in their ancestral homeland,
2. ignores Palestinian terrorist attacks,
3. turns a blind eye to the Palestinians funding terrorism and
4. downplays the antisemitism that led to the Holocaust."
Ever since 1948, Israel has been stifled by the PLO and Yasser Arafat in trying to reach a Peaceful settlement.
Ever since 1967, the same problems continue, even after Israel was attacked and won a war against them by ALL the surrounding countries which involved their friends as well to fight against Israel's existence. One against all, and the outcome was a miracle. Israelis had to win, they had no place to go otherwise than the sea, as Golda Meir would explain.
Israel won the right to exist in 1948 and in 1967, yet the UN has joined with the Palestinians and find petty reasons to condemn Israel. With the UN is most of Europe and the USA and they still call for a Palestine to be alongside Israel, while the Palestinians say---No Israel, and they'll take the land. It's always the Palestinians who either won't attend a meeting or just say NO to all discussed. Israel has been waiting too long. They are going ahead with their lives.
The Permanent Mission of Israel to the United Nations is led by Ambassador Danny Danon, who replaced Ron Prosor in 2015, as Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations and former Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Danon presented his credentials to UN Deputy Secretary-General Jan Eliasson on October 19, 2015.
Danon was born in Ramat Gan to Yosef and Yoheved Danon. His father was born in Egypt, and moved to Israel in 1950. He was severely wounded in the Jordan Valley during the War of Attrition, and died when Danny was 13. Danon attended Blich High School and was a member of the Betar youth movement.
In 1989, he was drafted into the army and completed his officer's course with distinction. He served as an officer in the Education Corps and was released with the rank of captain. In his final military posting, he served as an officer in the Marava unit, a military program for Jews from around the world to strengthen ties to Israel. He earned a Bachelor's degree in international affairs from the Florida International University, and a Master's degree in public policy from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After his national service in the IDF between 1989 and 1993, Danon was sent to Miami by the Jewish Agency.
Nikki Haley, former USA ambassador to UN, was the best the USA has ever had. She defended Israel, which shows she had done her research on the subject better than anyone.
“The United States does not currently recognize a Palestinian state or support the signal this appointment would send within the United Nations,” Haley said in a statement in February 2017, accusing the UN of bias in favour of Palestinians to “the detriment” of Israel. The episode was one of many where Haley made headlines during her time at the UN by rebuking Palestinians and voicing support for Israel.
- Born:
- January 20, 1972 (age 51) South Carolina,
- Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa at Bamberg County Hospital in Bamberg, South Carolina, to immigrant Sikh parents from Punjab, India. Her father, Ajit Singh Randhawa, and her mother, Raj Kaur Randhawa, emigrated to the United States from Amritsar District, Punjab, India. Her father was formerly a professor at Punjab Agricultural University, and her mother received her law degree from the University of Delhi. Haley was known by her middle name, Nikki, a Punjabi name, from her earliest years.
On Wednesday, Haley, 51, formally launched her campaign for the 2024 US presidential race from her home state of South Carolina. But her candidacy has renewed criticism from Palestinian rights advocates who say Haley’s diplomatic career was defined by pro-Israel advocacy — They hold it against her for defending Israel's position. “Nikki Haley has a shameful history of enabling Israel’s violence against the Palestinian people, a defining feature of her tenure as the UN ambassador,” Iman Abid, advocacy director at the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), told Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera is a news wire from Qatar in the Middle East.
I'll never forget how Nikki Haley when USA Ambassador to UN spoke out for Israel. No one can measure up to her with her knowledge and speaking ability. Now she's running for president against Donald Trump. I sure wish she could have been given a permanent position as Israel's advocate in the UN. Nikki Haley announced her run for president, challenging Trump. She is the former South Carolina governor and UN ambassador for USA.
