Republican Congressional members have urged President Joe Biden to veto an anti-Israel resolution slated to be brought before the U.N. Security Council on Monday.
"As the UN Security Council once again moves to consider another one-sided, biased, anti-Israel resolution, it is imperative that the United States maintain its position that only direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians can yield progress," Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy wrote in a letter to the president.
The missive was co-signed by Steve Scalise, the Majority Leader and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul.
"If the U.N. Security Council takes action on Monday to punish Israel, President Biden should stand beside them and block the ridiculous, politically-motivated measure," Senator Tom Cotton (R-Ark) wrote.
The United Arab Emirates-drafted resolution declares all Israeli settlements in "Palestinian territory" as illegal and a "flagrant violation under international law."
It also condemns any "unilateral moves" including annexation.

McCaul, along with Lindsey Graham, was today reported on as calling on Biden to also increase funding for Ukraine.
You actually believe that??
I do not think Biden will serve a second term.
So yeah, one way or another he’s gone in January of 2025.
Bookmark this. We’ll see.

Good. Russians trained up the modern jihadists.
Heh. And the 1948 expulsion of Jews from Judea and Samaria (”West Bank” being the Arab occupation name) by the Hashemite Kdm of Jordan was one of many illegal acts directed against Israel.
