BREAKING NEWS

REPORT – Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has signed the Rome Treaty and 19 other international agreements which now paves the way for the Palestinians to pursue war crimes against Israel, whose 50-day Gaza campaign cost more than 2,100 lives, at the International Criminal Court in the Hague. Abbas made good on his threat to join the ICC after the defeat of the Palestinian resolution calling on the complete withdrawal of Israel from the occupied territories by 2017 at the UN Security Council last night. The ratification of the Rome Treaty is the first step to joining the ICC. It also means the Palestinians have opened a new chapter in their relationship with Israel and its Superpower patron, the USA.

TEMPLATE REPORT

The US and Israel had contacted the President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan and he had assured them that he would not be backing the UN resolution.
US Secretary of State John Kerry had also contacted several senior members of the Nigerian government.
The Jordanian backed initiative had expected to gain the nine votes needed for the resolution to be passed, before being vetoed by the US later.
It is now clear that the Palestinians had wrongly thought Nigeria which is a rotating member of the security council would vote in favour.
Nigeria whose president recently visited Jerusalem on a pilgrimage is seen as an ally of Israel on the security council.

Whilst those that abstained – Lithuania, Rwanda, South Korea, UK, and Nigeria.
Two voted against – USA and Australia.
Nigeria had expected to vote in favour but abstained. Under the resolution, Israel would have needed to withdraw by 2017. Had it been passed, the USA would have been expected to block the resolution by using its veto.
