The "anti-Israel vitriol" at the United Nations needs to end, said U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice on Wednesday. "Member states must once and for all replace anti-Israeli vitriol with recognition of Israel's legitimacy and right to exist in peace and security," she said at the "Facing Tomorrow" conference hosted by President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem.
She also stressed Washington's commitment to fighting extremism. "We will stand by our friends on the frontlines and we will uphold the inalienable right to self-defence," said Rice.
