Krauthammer on UN Israel Resolution: 'This Was a US Operation All the Way'

In the continuing fallout from the UN resolution on Israeli settlements, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer joined a panel on "Special Report" Monday to discuss his take.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hammered the Obama administration for failing to record a veto against the resolution condemning West Bank and East Jerusalem settlements. He went a step further in saying that President Obama himself initiated the motion.
"This was a U.S. operation all the way," Krauthammer said.
"This is very serious damage that cannot be undone because you can't change a Security Council resolution without the acquiescence of the Russians and the Chinese, and you're not gonna get it."
Krauthammer especially questioned the mention of "East Jerusalem" in the resolution.
"It's as if the UN passed a resolution declaring Mecca and Medina to be sovereign Jewish or Christian territory," he said. "It's absurd. It's an insult to the intelligence of the world and is supremely damaging to the Israeli claim to its own holy places."
