He added that he was hopeful next week’s Palestinian-backed resolution might not be as one-sided as when the U.S. vetoed a Security Council resolution condemning America’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Fourteen council members voted for the resolution with only the U.S. voting against it.
