Netanyahu Promises Retribution for ‘Biased’ U.N. Resolution

December 24, 2016


In a furious riposte a day after the United Nations Security Council’s adoption of a resolution condemning Israeli settlement construction, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday pledged to exact a “diplomatic and economic price” from countries who acted against Israel.

Mr. Netanyahu also announced that he would halt his country’s contributions to several United Nations institutions, as well as re-evaluate the presence of the body’s representatives in Israel.
