North Korea on Friday mocked outgoing United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon over his apparent ambitions to run for South Korean president, calling him an opportunistic "chameleon in a human mask" who's dreaming a "hollow dream." (AP Photo/Bebeto Matthews, File)United Nations – U.N.

    The U.N. chief said Friday’s 14-0 vote, with the United States abstaining, demonstrates the Security Council’s “much needed leadership and the international community’s collective efforts” that are critical to demonstrate a two-state solution where Israel and the Palestinians live side by side in peace “is still achievable.”

    Spokesman Stephane Dujarric says Ban is encouraging Israeli and Palestinian leaders to work with the international community “to create a conducive environment for a return to meaningful negotiations.”

    Dujarric says the United Nations is ready to support efforts to reach this goal.

    Funny how right after this anti semite last week admitted that the UN has been very unfair towards Israel, singling it out for the most resolutions condemning the country, he now teamed up with the other anti semite obama,Moho was seeking a lasting legacy, and how will go down in history as the most hateful, vile, anti Semitic US president, not to mention the devastating state he left this country in! Mr. Trump has his work cut out for him, for if anyone can fix things, he can.

    The first step for a solution is a Peace agreement between both parties otherwise it’s WAR.

    Has there ever been a ‘security’ resolution against their terrorism?

    The U.N. vote is meaningless. It has a propaganda effect. Soviet Russia was condemned by the U.N. numerous time and continued. What counts is the commercial balance. Merck will continue to be a partner of Teva. The Czech Republic just bought Israeli made RadaR. Arabs will continue to buy Israeli made products minus the Made in Israel imprint

    Their vote cost them millions of dollars. Good luck when Trump and the Republicans cut their funding.
