Foreign Affairs and Security committee chairman Avi Dichter related in a Reshet Bet radio interview to the Obama administration's involvement in the UN Security Council's anti-Israel resolution.

Dichter said that "a Palestinian Authority delegation was in Washington and met with the Secretary of State ten days before the resolution's passing; Saeb Erekat was there with his personal adviser Abu Mazen, and the head of the PA security forces. Additionally, there was a meeting between the U.S. Ambassador to the UN and the Palestinian Authority representative. Egypt withdrew the draft, but the United States doesn't lack resources and so they found a substitute in the guise of four other countries."

"The Prime Minister well understands that this is not necessarily the last assault, and that in the time left to the U.S. administration it is important to ensure that there be no further assault. The UN Secretary General himself admitted that they were unfair in their treatment of Israel. In my opinion the time has come to change this reality and turn the [sour] lemon into [sweet] lemonade."

Regarding the international conference expected to take place in France next month, Dichter said, "France has positioned itself as one of the frustrated countries of Europe. It granted patronage to Syria for years and years, but now doesn't lift a finger to help the hundreds of thousands killed and wounded, and the millions of refugees. France seeks to act in such a way as to raise its international standing. France is not the one to teach us lessons in proper behavior, and I remind you that the guillotine was not invented in Israel."

The guillotine is a sharp-bladed instrument invented in France for the purpose of beheading and used in the French Revolution to kill thousands.
