U.S. Blocks UN Rebuke of Israeli Demolition of Illegal Construction
(Reuters) Michelle Nichols - The U.S. on Wednesday blocked an attempt by Kuwait, Indonesia and South Africa to get the UN Security Council to condemn Israel's demolition on Monday of illegal Palestinian construction in Jerusalem, diplomats said. The ten apartment buildings, most of them still under construction, posed a security risk. The U.S. has long accused the UN of anti-Israel bias and shielded its ally from council action.
