JERUSALEM, Dec. 24 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a United Nations resolution opposing settlement expansion "shameful" in his first public remarks since Friday's vote.
Netanyahu, speaking at a ceremony celebrating the first night of Hanukkah, assailed the United Nations and the United States, which abstained from a Security Council vote rather than vetoing the measure, as it has done in the past on resolutions critical of Israel's policy in the Palestinian conflict.
