“The President also promised to confront anti-Semitism on the world stage and see to it that America would no longer allow the United Nations to be a forum for invective against Israel. And, last summer, this President withdrew the United States from the so-called Human Rights Council at the U.N. And two months later, President Trump ended all U.S. contributions to UNRWA.”
Pence also mentioned President Trump’s decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing it as the capital of Israel, and also the administration officially recognizing the Golan Heights as belonging to Israel.
