states was complicit in this putting forward the resolution during this time. do you believe that to be the case this evening? in the security council of the u.n., every resolution connected ed ted to ids rea ees the pen holder. that was the case on friday. we expected more from our closest friend. we expected them to stop the resolution. it s legitimate to disagree about the issues, to criticize israel but it s no legitimate to choose the venue of the u.n. when it is so biassed and to allow the resolution to pass. president-elect donald trump saying that they re a friend, a strong ally with the united states and will be treated as such, saying hold on until january 20th. we re looking forward with the new ambassador to the u. until a u.n.
president-elect, the new administration and hope to see a change. the fact that u.s. is protecting israel, umbrella in the security council, but unfortunately, it wasn t the case last week. in the security council, the pen holder on every resolution regarding the middle east and israel, particularly, is the u.s. so what difference does it make now to present the information now or later? what s the difference? because we are not in a position now to start to argue with the world when in d.c., toward the palestinians, we have the capabilities to know what happened in those meetings and unfortunately, unfortunately we know for a fact that the u.s. not only supported the resolution, they encouraged the plalestinians to move forward t the security council. thank you, am bass door. thank you very much. when we come right back, a little over three weeks donald trump will take the oath of office and the obama administration will be history. so why wage a war of words with israel rig
