Trump is the hero by getting Egypt to postpone a UN Security
Council vote on Jerusalem and Jewish Settlements in Judea-Samaria
which is Israel's heritage.
Could Trump come to Israel’s rescue again with some strong
worded verbiage making it clear what he will do when his Administration begins
on January 20?

Reports: Anti-Israel
UN Resolution vote TODAY after one-day delay
December 23, 2016 at
10:50am
New Zealand, Malaysia,
Venezuela and Senegal call vote after Egypt backed off.
We reported yesterday how
Egypt decided to pull an anti-Israel resolution, after intervention of Donald
Trump. The Obama administration reportedly was ready to abstain and not veto
the resolution.
We also noted that other
countries had threatened to bring the Resolution to a vote if Egypt didn’t.
Haaretz reports that the vote is back on and will take place at
3 p.m. today:
The
UN Security Council is expected to vote on Friday on a resolution demanding an
end to Israeli settlements.
The
vote is to take place at 3 P.M. EST (10 P.M. Israel time).
The
decision was made following a meeting at the UN headquarters in New York
between the envoys of New Zealand, Malaysia, Venezuela and Senegal. The four
states were signed on the resolution that Egypt had submitted before ultimately
asking to postpone the vote on Thursday due to Israeli pressure.
The
four states told Egypt on Thursday that if it did not clarify whether it
planned to call a vote on the draft resolution, then they reserved the
right to move ahead with the vote.
Reuters also reports the vote will take place today.
The Resolution in question is
pernicious. It declares any Israeli presence beyond the 1949 armistice line
(the so-called pre-1967 line) illegal. That means Israeli control of the Jewish
Quarter of the Old City would be illegal, as would the presence of Jews in the
Jewish Quarter, which Jordan had ethnically cleansed of Jews and ransacked. It
also would mean Israeli control of the Western Wall would be illegal.
If Obama abstains, he will
have allowed the UN to strip Jews of their history.
If this happens, we’ll know
for sure whether the legacy of the Obama administration will be the abandonment
of Israel.
