Israel received most condemnations at UN in 2018: Report

Israel faced the most condemnations at the United Nations in 2018, with the General Assembly passing at least 20 resolutions against Tel Aviv for human rights abuses, illegal settlement construction on occupied Palestinian territory as well as its continued occupation of East Jerusalem al-Quds.

The UN approved at least six anti-Israel resolutions in a single day on November 30, while a separate resolution passed in December renewed condemnation of the US unilateral recognition of al-Quds as Israel’s “capital,” according to Turkey's official Anadolu news agency report.

The resolutions further voiced support for long-stalled efforts to achieve a so-called two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, while separately censuring Israel’s continued occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights.

The usurper regime of Israel seized some two thirds of the rocky plateau in southwestern Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. It later unilaterally annexed the occupied territory in a move not recognized by the international community.

Last month, outgoing US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley criticized the world body for condemning the child-killer Zionist regime of Israel at least 500 times over the years.

She made the comments after a US-sponsored draft resolution seeking to condemn the Palestinian resistance group Hamas at the United Nations General Assembly failed to gain sufficient traction.
