Disapproving of President Obama and his administration's refusal to veto the anti-Israel resolution adopted by the United Nations Security Council on December 23, 2016

H.Res.957
Introduced: 
December 30, 2016

Second
December 30, 2016
Referred to House (sub)committee

After the Obama administration decided to abstain from the UNSC’s vote on a resolution condemning Israeli settlements on 12/23 (see Update on Conflict and Diplomacy in JPS 46 [3]), thereby allowing it to pass, both Republican and Democrat leaders in Congress criticized the outgoing president for neglecting Israel. This resolution, disapproving of the UNSC resolution and Obama’s abstention, typified their complaints. It also affirmed Congress’s commitment to work with Pres.-elect Trump to strengthen the U.S. alliance with Israel.

23 cosponsors (23R).

Last major action: 12/30/16 referred to the House Comm. on Foreign Affairs.
