Trump’s Move Departs From U.N. Resolutions on Jerusalem<br />Here are some notable examples of resolutions that the United States supported or did not block with a veto: Resolution 242, Nov. 22,<br />1967: Israel was told to withdraw forces from territories occupied in the 1967 war, which included the eastern part of Jerusalem.<br />Resolution 1397, March 12, 2002: Both sides were called upon to halt violence and re-engage in peace talks with the goal of a two-state solution, "side by side within secure and recognized borders." The resolution called on both sides to adopt recommendations of a fact-finding committee, led by the former senator George J. Mitchell,<br />that included a freeze on Israeli settlements and cooperation to protect holy sites in Jerusalem and elsewhere.<br />Resolution 672, Oct. 12, 1990: During the first intifada, or Palestinian uprising, Israel was called "the occupying power" in Jerusalem<br />and was condemned over the deaths of more than 20 Palestinians in violence at holy sites in the city on Oct. 8.<br />Resolution 465, March 1, 1980: Israel was warned to stop settlement construction<br />and to disband existing settlements in territories occupied in the 1967 war, including Jerusalem.<br />As Israel’s strongest ally at the United Nations, the United States often has<br />used its veto power to block Security Council resolutions critical of Israel.
