All the events described took place on the sidelines of the UN Security Council about four years ago. Then Russia used the veto right, to block the UN Security Council resolution, promoted by Barack Obama and contrary to Israeli interests.
About six months ago, Benjamin Netanyahu revealed some details of this case.. He mentioned a certain leader of one of the superpowers., veto, vote against resolution, to maintain relative stability in this part of the Middle East. The Israeli prime minister later spoke more specifically and added details to the story..
Shortly before the events described, December 2016 of the year, UN adopted resolution, condemning Israel for the occupation of Arab territories, captured during the Six Day War. These actions of Tel Aviv were recognized as a violation of international law.
Next Barack Obama, whose term ends, proposed another resolution. She envisioned the creation of an independent Palestinian state within the borders of 1948 of the year.
Benjamin Netanyahu called Putin and asked to block this decision of the UN Security Council, to maintain stability in the region. The arguments of the Israeli Prime Minister convinced the President of the Russian Federation. He informed Netanyahu, what, if the resolution is put to a vote, The Russian Federation will veto it.
