"I am stunned– I am stunned at what happened last month," Ryan said in a statement on the floor. "This government, our government, abandoned our ally Israel when she needed us the most."The Israeli government fears that Obama, in his last days in office, will allow for similar measures to pass the Security Council– including a resolution codifying international parameters for a two-state solution, which will soon be under consideration at a major conference in Paris. One top foreign policy adviser to the president, Ben Rhodes, has said the administration planned to veto any such resolution.The House effort, said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Florida), "sends a warning to the nations that will gather in Paris next week to discuss the peace process that there will be repercussions if there is a move to introduce a parameters resolution."The Senate is expected to vote on a similar resolution in the coming days. Their companion measure has already received eleven Democratic cosponsors, and is expected to pass with unanimous Republican support.Following Speaker Paul Ryan's passionate plea, the House overwhelmingly passes a resolution blasting the UN measure over Israel settlements pic.twitter.com/EWqZH9BpHG
