Text: Remarks of Ambassador Nikki Haley at UN Security Council Debate on the Middle East
(U.S. Mission to the UN) "Regrettably, these monthly meetings routinely turn into Israel-bashing sessions....It's a formula that is absurdly biased against one country....These meetings do nothing to bring the parties closer together. They actually work to push the two sides apart....Peace will only come from direct negotiations, not from one-sided Security Council meetings and one-sided resolutions." "The Council ignores the pressing threats that are right in front of us....If we are speaking honestly about conflict in the Middle East, we need to start with the chief culprit: Iran and its partner militia, Hizbullah....The incredibly destructive nature of Iranian and Hizbullah activities throughout the Middle East demands much more of our attention."
