UNITED NATIONS â The United States on Friday blocked the appointment of the former Palestinian prime minister to lead the U.N. political mission in Libya, saying it was acting to support its ally Israel.
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said the Trump administration âwas disappointedâ to see that U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had sent a letter to the Security Council indicating his intention to appoint Salam Fayyad, who served as the Palestinian Authorityâs prime minister from 2007-2013, as the next U.N. special representative to Libya.
âFor too long the U.N. has been unfairly biased in favor of the Palestinian Authority to the detriment of our allies in Israel,â Haley said.
Palestine is a non-member observer state at the United Nations and its independence has been recognized by 137 of the 193 U.N. member nations. But Haley said the United States doesnât currently recognize a Palestinian state âor support the signalâ Fayyadâs appointment would send within the United Nations.
