Netanyahu calls UN Council "hypocritical" for voting 36 to 1 to create fact-finding mission investigating effects of settlements on Palestinian human rights; PA says it hopes decision will send message to Israel.
“This is a hypocritical council with an automatic majority
against Israel,” Netanyahu said in response.
“This council ought to be ashamed of itself,” he said. “Until today, the council has made 91 decisions,
39 of which dealt with Israel, three with Syria and one with Iran.”
“One only had to listen to the Syrian representative speak about human rights at the council
on Thursday to understand how detached from reality it is,” he said.
