PM Lapid's Statement Regarding Recent UN Resolution
Israel - Prime Minister's Office
12.11.2022
Prime Minister Yair Lapid, this evening, made the following statement regarding yesterday's UN resolution:
"Israel strongly rejects the Palestinian resolution at the United Nations.
This is another unilateral Palestinian move which undermines the basic principles for resolving the conflict and may harm any possibility for a future process. The Palestinians want to replace negotiations with unilateral steps. They are again using the United Nations to attack Israel.
This step will not change the reality on the ground, nor will it help the Palestinian people in any way; it may even result in an escalation. Supporting this move is a prize for terrorist organizations and the campaign against Israel.
We thank the many countries that did not support this resolution and made it clear that this is neither the way to promote stability nor to resolve the conflict.
We call upon on all the countries that supported yesterday's proposal to reconsider their position and oppose it when it's voted upon in the General Assembly. The way to resolve the conflict does not pass through the corridors of the UN or other international bodies."
