US vetoes UN resolution on Israeli settlements

Despite receiving the backing of 14 out of 15 members of the United Nations' security council, an Arab-sponsored UN resolution branding Israeli settlements illegal was vetoed by the United States.

Instead, the US defended a weaker, non-binding presidential statement that effectively rejects the legitimacy of Israel's settlements.

Al Jazeera spoke with Susan Rice, the US ambassador to the United Nations, about the Obama administration's first veto casted in the United Nations security council.

Susan Rice. President Obama and Sec of State Hillary Clinton are engaged in the systematic betrayal of the state of Israels right to exist. Encouraging democratic revolutions throughout the Middle East, only guarantee governments of hard line Islamics hostile to Israel. Regime change in Syria is against the interests of peace, stability and Israel. An Iranian Nuclear Missile Capability and continued US disarmament will undermine Israels ability to hold settements and undermine border security.
