‘Almost two months since the UN Security Council decried Israel’s settlement policy in a strong-worded resolution, Benjamin Netanyahu decided not to send ambassadors back to its co-sponsors, New Zealand and Senegal, the Times of Israel reports.
Citing a “senior source intimately familiar with the issue,” the outlet reported that the Israeli PM decided to go for the symbolic move, which will inevitably result in deterioration of already strained relations, this week.
The move will come as an extension of diplomatic fallout from the UN resolution 2234 that condemned Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories as a “flagrant violation under international law.”’
