US President-elect Donald Trump is likely to scrap the UN Security Council’s resolution, condemning the Israeli settlement-building policy in the West Bank, which has not been blocked by the Obama administration, experts told Sputnik.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — On Friday, the UNSC passed a resolution in a 14-0 vote, with the only abstention from the United States, condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank. The resolution states that Israel should immediately and completely cease all settlement activities on “occupied Palestinian territory,” including in East Jerusalem. Following the adoption of the resolution, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered to revise the UN-Israel relationship.
Following the vote in the UNSC, Trump called the situation around the resolution “the big loss” for Israel, adding that it would make the settlement of the crisis involving Israel and Palestine more difficult.
Muhammed Asad Awawi, who teaches history and the Palestinian issues in the Open University in Jerusalem, told Sputnik that Trump’s rhetoric shows that he would likely abolish the resolution.
“Trump is calming tensions caused by the US position and shows that when he becomes president, everything will be changed and the resolution would be canceled,” Awawi said.
