President-elect Donald Trump called on Wednesday for the United States to veto an Egyptian-drafted UN resolution demanding that the Zionist entity immediately halt its settlement activities in the Palestinian territories and east Al-Quds (Jerusalem).

“The resolution being considered at the United Nations Security Council regarding ‘Israel’ should be vetoed,” the Republican said in a statement issued ahead of vote taking place later in the day.

“As the United States has long maintained, peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians will only come through direct negotiations between the parties, and not through the imposition of terms by the United Nations,” he said.
