With the Obama administration and others plunging the knife into Israel’s back, it is heartening to know other allies have our back, even if symbolically.
In a statement released on Thursday, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop said Australia was not currently a member of the Security Council and was not eligible to vote on the resolution.
However, she said, “in voting at the UN, the Coalition government has consistently not supported one-sided resolutions targeting Israel”.
As an Aussie-Israeli, this is especially heartening.
