'Israel is Not the United Nations' Punching Bag Anymore'

"Still fuming about UN Resolution 2334, which passed in December just before Donald Trump became US president, Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked told attendees at The Jerusalem Post Annual Conference in New York on Sunday that Israel has a partner in the Trump administration in fighting all illegal UN resolutions.

'Israel is not the United Nations' punching bag anymore,' she said, calling Resolution 2334, which declared the settlements, including the 'settlement blocs' illegal, 'nothing more than antisemitism and delegitimization of Israel.'

'We reject UN Resolution 2334. We reject it on legal, moral and ethical grounds!' Shaked said, detailing her belief that the situation at the UN has changed.

'We can see the change with Nikki Haley as the US ambassador to the United Nations... Israelis finally feel that we have someone leading the fight for justice and morality in a place without it. We feel like our voice will finally be heard in the halls of the General Assembly. She has given us hope, and we look forward to seeing her continue on the path she started.'..."
