Why didn’t the US veto the UN’s rebuke of Israel?
Clip: 12/23/2016 | 6m 48s
Judy Woodruff speaks with Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, about the decision
The United States has broken with decades of diplomacy by abstaining on a U.N. rebuke of Israel, rather than vetoing it in support of its longtime ally. The Security Council voted 14 to 0 that Israel is committing a “flagrant violation” of international law by building settlements on land Palestinians want. Judy Woodruff speaks with Ben Rhodes, deputy national security adviser, about the decision.
