U.S. Abstains on UN Vote Affirming Palestinian Refugees' Right to Return to Israel
(Jerusalem Post) Tovah Lazaroff - The Biden administration abstained Tuesday on a UN General Assembly Resolution affirming the right of return for Palestinian refugees to sovereign Israel. The Trump administration had voted against such resolutions, but the Obama administration had abstained. The measure was one of six anti-Israel resolutions adopted. Israel says the right of return for Palestinians to Israel would destroy the country's identity as the national homeland for the Jewish people.
