Netanyahu Rips Obama Admin., ‘Looks Forward to’ Working With Trump in Statement on U.N. Vote

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu put out a strong statement today following the United Nations Security Council vote to condemn Israel settlements.

Netanyahu declares that Israel will not abide by the terms of the resolution and specifically trashes the Obama administration for “colluding” behind the scenes with this “gang-up.”

And just to contrast, the statement concludes with an expression of hope at the incoming Donald Trump administration.
