Israel fails to sign onto US text condemning Russia at UNSC

2.26.22
Israel did not sign onto a United States-backed resolution condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine that failed to gain United Nations Security Council approval on Friday night. Nor has Israel clarified what its stance will be on an upcoming UN General Assembly resolution that is expected to take Russia to task for its military action in Ukraine. Israel is not one of the 15 UNSC members and so could not vote on the resolution submitted by the US and Albania. The US, however, had asked for its diplomatic allies that were non-UNSC member states to make good on an option to sign onto the text as a sign of support. Israel has attempted to take a moderate tone on the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.At least 49 states nations heeded that call.

US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield said it was important to take a stand against the aggression of one UN member state against the sovereignty of another. "The UN Charter was written with the express purpose of preventing a war like the one [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin just started," she said. She explained that the US planned to turn to the UNGA, where each of the 193 UN member states had a vote and no country has veto power. "We will be taking this matter to the General Assembly, where the Russian veto does not apply and the nations of the world will continue to hold Russia accountable," Linda Thomas-Greenfield said.

Perhaps Jerusalem recognizes the incongruity of condemning Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the occupation of Ukrainian lands, when Israel itself invades and occupies neighboring lands.

Some members here sure don't get it.

No that's hardly the reason.
It's about keeping the freedom of movement in Syrian airspace while targeting Iranian agents plotting there against Israel.
Israel still supports Ukraine in this and its foreign minister has indeed condemned Russia.

Can any UN nation sign onto a Security Council proposal that has not be passed out of the Security Council?

Until Israel formerly condemns Russia then it's just one man's opinion.

Israel need to not isolate Russia, especially since they are working through the Russians to keep access to Syrian airspace. And as long as Israel don't want to sacrifice that, they can't fully support Ukraine.

I did not know that.

What a tangled web we weave...

Seems we can't pluck one string on the web without making the whole thing quiver.

It is because Israel somehow is on good terms with all 3 main powers-USA, RUSSIA, AND CHINA. Something mysterious...

Why do they need to Syrian Airspace? last time I checked Syria is NOT in Israel

"targeting Iranian agents"

Weird way of saying civilians. Your country bombs Syria every week and get away with it each time

To blow people up that happens to be in Syria.

Gets away with what? Targeting Iranian terrorists? Okay.

IMO, the UN is more diplomatic show than anything. Israel has actively been supporting Ukraine via weapons for some time (https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-698899), with much of that weaponry ending up in the hands of the Neo-Nazi Azov Battalion. (https://electronicintifada.net/content/israel-arming-neo-nazis-ukraine/24876) (https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news...top-arming-neo-nazis-in-the-ukraine-1.6248727)

So really, Israel has been supporting Ukraine for years now, it's just now people are making a hullaballo about them not signing a text.

No, your killing innocent Syrians

 

[TypicalRussian]

To blow people up that happens to be in Syria.

why do they need that?

 

[Apocalypse]

No, your killing innocent Syrians

Those 'innocent civilians' shouldn't try to murder innocent civilians.

 

[Chagos]

No, your killing innocent Syrians

Hezbollah is not innocent of firing crap into Israel, be they doing it from Syria or Lebanon. Nor are Syrian operators of rocket launchers.

You really need to up your Olgino disinformation, lest you be considered foolish.

Tel Aviv has in fact taken a strong line:

Yeah. I wonder how Israel would take that advice. Actually, nobody needs to wonder.

This nonsense where you get to decide your own facts only seems to work within Russia, not outside it.

Couldn't read it all due to the paywall but it looked like Shaked is saying that less than 10% don't qualify for the Law of Return......which means the others, 90%, do? That out of the total refugees being taken in 90 odd % are Jewish? lols Hearts of gold or a chip away at the demographic problem Israel faces ?
