Linda Thomas-Greenfield: “I find the actions and the approach that BDS has taken toward Israel unacceptable. It verges on anti-Semitism.”

In our resolution, we clearly condemn the new settlements in both in the West Bank and as well in Gaza.

The president has been clear. The secretary has been clear in his discussions with the Israelis that there has to be a plan to ensure for the safety of civilians in Gaza.

We absolutely support Israel's right to defend itself from this brutal attack on its own territory that we all witnessed at over the weekend.

Basic humanitarian assistance should never be held hostage to political disagreements.
