Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu accused the US of “abandoning” Israel. The move comes after the US refrained from vetoing a UNSC proposal calling for a suspension of fighting in Gaza.
By not exercising its veto, the US allowed the non-binding resolution to pass.
The statement released by the PMO said, “The US has abandoned its policy in the UN today. Just a few days ago, it supported a Security Council resolution that linked a call for a ceasefire to the release of hostages.”
“China and Russia vetoed that resolution partly. They opposed a ceasefire that was linked to the release of hostages. Yet today, Russia and China joined Algeria and others in supporting the new resolution,” the statement added.
The statement also said it was “regrettable” the US did not veto the new resolution.
Earlier on Monday, Netanyahu said he would not send a delegation as planned to Washington.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby however said that they are “perplexed” over Netanyahu’s choice to call off the Israeli delegation’s trip to the US.
