veto at the u.n. security council there. well i don't think it was unexpected i mean about an hour before the vote took place we heard from palestinian president mahmoud out but as he was having he was having opening remarks a leadership meeting here in ramallah and he actually did think during that he did say that if devote didn't go ahead to security council then they would revert to do un general assembly to seek full membership of the state of palestine and he also said there were other moves on the table one of them that. twenty two agreements have been signed and that list of those agreements will be revealed tomorrow but those are with international organizations and that is something that israel has been working against for a while now because of the symbolism of accepting this state of palestine within international organization it entails a certain degree of international recognition and also because there are fears that the palestinians would go at some point and raise legal action against the state of israel but

security council meets.

has a veto vote on the u.n. security council the u.s. the u.s. is one of five of the five permanent members of the u.n. security council so in all likelihood the u.s. is going to veto this resolution when it's put on the table to vote tomorrow but what is then going to happen after that likely is the palestinians will then turn to the general assembly and the u.n. as a body is as a record of voting in a very pro palestinian fashion. not very anti israel fashion the u.n. g.a. and the un security council passed more resolutions against israel than any other country and we can look back as late as two thousand and twelve when palestine went before the u.n. g.a. to be recognized as a nonmember observer state and won that vote after losing in the security council because the us vetoed it likely that they're going to turn to the u.n. g.a. and we'll see some sort of resolution about recognizing east jerusalem if not all of jerusalem as the capital of palestine u.s. vice president mike pence is set to visit israel this wednesday very interesting time for

the latest that will tell us more that about the security council meeting what's been happening. well at the moment the u.n. security council meeting is paused they will be returning shortly in order to vote now in essence this is a meeting to discuss a resolution that was proposed by egypt and the resolution is intended to counter and reject the move by donald trump's administration to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital and move the u.s. embassy to israel now the u.s. embassy to jerusalem now it's important to note that though the resolution is aimed at the united states and specifically avoids mentioning the usa the resolution from egypt says it expresses deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of jerusalem not directly naming the united states in the resolution now nikki haley the u.s. ambassador to the united nations has now indicated that the usa intends to veto this resolution and she when she took the floor she expressed what she has expressed before feeling that the united nations does not treat israel fairly this is nikki haley addressing the united na

security council resolution condemning israel's illegal settlements fourteen votes in favor or one. the special counsel has determined the israeli prime minister asked the trump transition team to intercede so it is reported to have told them to ask the russians to kill them both. not only that the israeli government was reportedly spying on obama officials at the u.n. and then sharing their intelligence with the trump team as part of this. effort this is all against the rarely used logan act a law which explicitly forbids us citizens from colluding with foreign powers to defeat u.s. government foreign policy the penalty is up to three years in prison this is a clear example of collusion with a foreign power it's inconvenient for many that the foreign powers israel. in fact and leading democratic party expressed his gratitude to christians want to thank you for making that effort and that's a clue as to why those who say they're hungry for hard evidence of collusion have been seized on the first actual illegal collusion that's been discovered in many respects trump is just doing wha

i know the u.n. security council is getting ready to vote on a draft resolution rejecting the u.s. decision to recognize jerusalem as israel's capital u.s. president donald trump's policy shift on jerusalem earlier this month has been widely criticized and a sparked mass protests around the world it was more anger across the palestinian territory on sunday night with demonstrators burning effigies of trump and israel's need of benjamin netanyahu. united nations force so mike how much support is there for the resolution at the u.n. . well lauren they have the know taking part in a shed yule briefing on the mideast palestine being briefed by the special representative nicholai not enough but the debate about the resolution that's due to be introduced by egypt has in effect already begun we've heard from a number of the members on their way into the chamber fall this meeting saying very clearly that they were going to vote in favor of the resolution which after all is simply a summation of the u.n. position established on the status of jerusalem over a period of decades among those ma

security council passed another round of sanctions in september north korea launched a missile test in november and we haven't yet had any official reaction from north korea but we can expect a statement perhaps in a day or two put out through official state media we can also expect to hear from north korean leader kim jong un himself who's made it a tradition to deliver a new year's day speech. well the u.s. says it will give you crane what it calls enhanced defensive capabilities u.s. media reports that the new arms include anti-tank missiles but the state department has not confirmed lethal weapons will be sent so far washington has been providing ukraine with support equipment and training in its battle against protesters separatists in eastern parts of the country where fighting in ukraine broke out more than three years ago after progress the separatists took over parts of the two agreements to end the conflict were signed in minsk in september twenty fourth a few months later but the deal has failed to bring peace both sides blame each other for the ceasefire violations recent f

security council the representatives of israel and the palestinians are at a distance. that you as this is to reward israelis impunity undermines and essentially disqualifies its leadership role to seek peace in the region i call on all countries all be thinking nations of the world to join with our american friends recognize the jewel the limbs connection to israel in a move your embassies to our capital but as here the u.s. is largely alone in its decision the european allies speak out against the us president's actions we disagree with the u.s. decision to recognize to resell them as the capital of israel and to begin preparations to move the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem it is not in line with security council resolutions and is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region we encourage the u.s. administration to not bring forward proposals for an israeli palestinian settlement a settlement between the neighbors now seems further away than ever. to his tenure cramer is still with us in jerusalem ten of the u.s. looking increasingly isolated t
