Shlomo Ben-Ami, former foreign affairs minister of Israel, discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to cancel his Washington visit after the U.S. abstained from voting on the U.N. Security Council's Gaza cease-fire resolution.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had warned prior to the vote that if the U.S. did not veto it, the visit of a high-level Israeli delegation to Washington would be pulled.
US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield votes abstain during a vote on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza during a United Nations Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question, at the UN headquarters in New York on March 25, 2024.
"This is a clear retreat from the consistent position of the U.S. in the Security Council since the beginning of this war," a statement from Netanyahu's office said, adding that "this withdrawal hurts both the war effort and the effort to release the abductees.""It's a breakthrough.
