U.S. isolated at U.N. Security Council over Trump's Golan decision
UNITED NATIONS - The United States was isolated at the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday over President Donald Trump's decision to recognise Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights as the other countries on the council opposed the move.
British U.N. Ambassador Karen Pierce told the council that the U.S. decision was in contravention of that 1981 resolution, while Russia's Deputy U.N. Ambassador Vladimir Safronkov said Washington had violated U.N. resolutions and warned it could fuel instability in the Middle East. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said earlier on Wednesday that Washington's decision would help resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict by removing uncertainty.
