France, China and Russia were among the countries that supported the text setting a 12-month deadline for negotiations on a final peace deal with Israel and an imposed full Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and East Jerusalem by the end of 2017.

Scary.

Not really. This was just another political kabuki play, strictly for the benefit of policy reaffirmation and reassurance of that segment of their respective domestic audience that pays attention to these things.

Reading closer: supported the text setting a 12-month deadline for negotiations on a final peace deal with Israel and an imposed full Israeli withdrawal ...

There is nothing remotely enforceable about negotiations or withdrawal (how can you impose something that is subject to negotiations, and further, who is going to impose "it"?) The motion was guaranteed to fail and it successfully did.

Everybody did their obligatory show of hands, drank their Perrier or San Pellegrino (both are products of a fine company, Nestlé Waters) and went home happy. A job well and professionally done.

"La commedia e finita!"
