As reported earlier by JOL, the US House of Representatives voted last night in favor of condemning the UN Security Council resolution against Israeli settlements. In response to the wide-spread support, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said today (Friday): “Thank you, America. Thank you, Congress.”
After the outrageous anti-Israel resolution at the UN, the US House of Representatives voted yesterday resoundingly to support Israel and reject this one-sided resolution,” Netanyahu added. “Democrats and Republicans alike know that the Western Wall isn't occupied territory.”
“They voted to either repeal the resolution at the UN or change it—and that's exactly what we intend to do,” Netanyahu continued. “I want to thank the US House of Representatives which reflects the tremendous support Israel enjoys among the American people.”
