US Senate Committee to Suspend UN Aid if Israel Resolution Approved - Senator
18:05 GMT 23.12.2016 (Updated: 10:57 GMT 26.10.2022) The US Senate Subcommittee on Foreign Operations will cut financial assistance to the United Nations if the world body moves forward with the resolution on Israel settlements in the West Bank, US Senator Lindsey Graham said in a statement.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Graham serves as the chairman of the Subcommittee and oversees the US funding programs for the United Nations.
"If the United Nations moves forward with the ill-conceived resolution, I will work to form a bipartisan coalition to suspend or significantly reduce United State assistance to the United Nations," Graham stated.

The senator warned that any nation that supports the resolution and receives aid from the United States would "put that assistance in jeopardy."
The UN Security Council’s vote on this resolution was initially planned for December 22. However, resolution-sponsor Egypt asked on Thursday for the vote be postponed.
The resolution demands that Israel immediately and completely stop all settlement activities in the West Bank and Eastern Jerusalem.
