U.S. will 'consider abstaining' if UN votes on East Jerusalem

[SAT]

Sheikh Hamad reportedly asked a senior official from the Obama administration whether the U.S. would promise not to veto a Security Council resolution condemning Israel's settlement activity in East Jerusalem.

The U.S. official reportedly told Hamad in response that the current U.S. position was that it would "seriously consider abstention", according to the BBC

They are not using their veto power any more to support Israel. Hmm didn't someone say that was in one of Joel Rosenberg's books???
