US Secretary of State John Kerry informed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday that the outgoing Obama Administration will oppose any efforts at the UN Security Council to pass a resolution based on conclusions reached at the summit in Paris.According to Israeli sources, Kerry spoke with Netanyahu from the conference, saying that the US would work to soften the language of the conference’s summary text.An earlier draft of the summary text called upon Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA) “to disavow official voices on their side that reject” a two-state solution between Israel and the PA. Such a guideline essentially calls for Israel to reject the opinions of at least several elected ministers who unequivocally oppose the two-state solution.Netanyahu reportedly replied to Kerry that damage was already inflicted when the Obama Administration abstained from a UN Security Council resolution on December 23 that condemned any Israeli presence in territories won by Israel from Jordan during the 1967 Six Day War.Read WATCH: Hamas political head persists with delusion that Israel must 'resisted and eliminated'Kerry then reassured Netanyahu that there will be no follow-up UN Security Council resolution from Sunday’s summit in Paris is passed in the remaining few days of the Obama presidency.By: Jonathan Benedek, World Israel News 1967 Six Day WarKerryParis Peace ConferenceTwo State SolutionUN Security Council
