UNITED NATIONS - The United States on Wednesday blocked an attempt by Kuwait, Indonesia and South Africa to get the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israel’s demolition of Palestinian homes on the outskirts of Jerusalem, diplomats said.
U.N. officials, who had called on Israel to halt the demolition plans, said 17 Palestinians faced displacement. The United States has long accused the United Nations of anti-Israel bias and shielded its ally from council action. U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt and senior Trump adviser Jared Kushner have spent two years developing a peace plan they hope will provide a framework for renewed talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
