UN Security Council Ready to Vote on Israel Settlements Resolution Friday

The UN Security Council has come up with a balanced draft resolution on Israeli settlements and is ready to vote on it on Friday, the French Ambassador to the United Nations Francois Delattre told reporters before a Security Council meeting on Friday.


The ambassador explained the resolution does not exclusively focus on settlements.

"We have a draft, it's a good one, it's a balanced text. My understanding is that will be today. And we are ready to have a vote," Delatter said.

"It also condemns the violence and terrorism. It also calls to prevent all incitement from the Palestinian side so this is a balanced text."

Delatter also noted the main goal of the UN Security Council was "to preserve and reaffirm the two state-solution" in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
