Israel has taken diplomatic action in response to the recent United Nations Security Council vote on Palestine, summoning ambassadors from countries that supported the resolution. The confirmation came from Oren Marmorstein, spokesperson for the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as reported by Arab News and several other media outlets on Sunday.
The diplomatic move follows the Security Council's vote on Thursday, where a resolution advocating for granting Palestine full membership of the United Nations as a state was brought forward. Despite receiving support from several member states, including France, Japan, South Korea, Malta, Slovakia, and Ecuador, the resolution was ultimately blocked by the veto of the United States, a permanent member of the Security Council.
Out of the 15 members of the Security Council, 12 countries voted in favor of the proposal, while the United Kingdom and Switzerland abstained from voting. However, the resolution could not be adopted due to the veto power exercised by the United States.
Israel's reaction to the supportive stance of the aforementioned countries reflects its displeasure with their decision to back the resolution. By summoning the ambassadors of these nations, Israel aims to convey its discontent and assert its position on the matter.
The move underscores the ongoing tensions and complexities surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as diplomatic efforts continue to shape the discourse and actions taken at the international level.
