HENRY: “Let’s bring in John Bolton, former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. Good evening, ambassador, Merry Christmas. I wonder do you believe this was President Obama stabbing the prime minister, and Israel by extension, in the back.”
BOLTON: “No I think he was stabbing Israel in the front. I think this was clearly intended to do much more than affect the issue of Israeli settlements. I think when you read the text of the resolution carefully, it’s an implicit repeal of the iconic Resolution 242 adopted by the Security Council after the 1967 war. And it constitutes an abandonment of the entire concept of land for peace because it is an effort to establish Israel’s boundaries. And for consequences to flow from that that could be very, very damaging for Israel.”
