Any downgrade in Israel's status or standing at the UNGA will result in a corresponding downgrade of US financial, material, and political support to the UN, more than 100 bipartisan members of Congress wrote in a letter on Thursday addressed to UN Secretary-General António Guterres.
The letter, spearheaded by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) said Congress has taken note of the numerous UN actions "aimed to delegitimize Israel's right to self-defense."
"We have concluded that the UN is not a neutral party, but one that has definitively taken sides against Israel. We remind you that the US is the largest donor to the UN," according to the letter. "Our contributions account for one-third of the body’s collective budget. We will not accept the UN’s ongoing hostility to our ally Israel."
