Israeli Ambassador: We'll Give Trump Proof Obama Drove UN Vote

"Israel's ambassador to the United States said Tuesday that the country will present President-elect Donald Trump with 'evidence' that the Obama administration orchestrated an anti-settlement resolution at the United Nations Security Council on Friday.

Ron Dermer told CNN that Israel is angry with the US over the resolution because it is 'the only country where we have any expectation to actually stand with us at the United Nations.'

The US abstained from the vote, which passed 14-0.

'It's an old story that the United Nations gangs up against Israel. What is new is that the United States did not stand up and oppose that gang-up. And what is outrageous is that the United States was actually behind that gang-up,' Dermer said.

Confirming claims made by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spokesman a day earlier, Dermer said Israel has proof the White House drove the resolution, and will 'present this evidence to the new administration through the appropriate channels.'

'If they want to share it with the American people, they are welcome to do it,' he said, sidestepping a question on why Israel would not release the information itself.

Speaking to CNN on Sunday, Netanyahu's spokesman David Keyes said Arab sources, among others, had informed Jerusalem of President Barack Obama's alleged involvement in advancing the resolution.

'We have ironclad information, frankly, that the Obama administration really helped push this resolution and helped craft it, from sources internationally and sources in the Arab world,' Keyes told the US media outlet..."
