Israel summoned diplomats of 10 of the 14 nations which voted for last week’s UN Resolution condemning Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. <br /><br /> Prime Minister Netanyahu will also meet US Ambassador Shapiro<br /><br /> Netanyahu previously said he would ‘reassess’ ties with the UN after the vote, but on Sunday took aim at the US specifically.<br /><br /> He affirmed his position at a cabinet meeting:<br />“We knew that going there would make negotiations harder and drive peace farther away. As I told John Kerry on Thursday, ‘Friends don’t take friends to the Security Council.’ <br /><br /> Netanyahu added that; <br />“encouraged by the statements of our friends in the United States, Republicans and Democrats alike, they (the US) understand that the Western Wall isn’t occupied territory”.<br /><br /> Calling diplomats on Christmas Day is highly unusual, and underlines how seriously Israel are taking what one official called a conspiracy by the US. <br /><br /> The White House has denied this allegation. <br /><br /> Netanyahu says his government ‘cannot and will not’ accept the United Nations resolution<br />
