Israel to cut UN contribution in protest of Security Council resolution

Israel will be cutting its contribution to the UN in protest of a Security Council resolution condemning Israeli settlements.

Approximately six million dollars will be cut, which the country's UN mission says represents the portion of Israel's contribution allocated to 'anti-Israel bodies'.

The bodies mentioned were the UN agency for Palestinian refugees known as UNRWA, the Division for Palestinian Rights, the committee investigating Israeli practices affecting Palestinian human rights, and information programs on “the Question of Palestine”.
