Soviet bid for Arab friendship at United Nations
United Nations in New York Russia proposed the UN Security Council seek damages from Israel for losses Syria suffered in the December 11 Galilee raid. The measure did not back Syria’s demand to expel Israel from the UN or impose sanctions. This marked Moscow’s first Palestine related resolution as it sides with Arab positions in long running debates. The Western draft will likely appear to rebuke Israel for the gun position raid that killed 56 Syrians and six Israelis, with details on compensation unclear.
