Russia did not support a UN Security Council Resolution that the Obama administration considered pushing in order to force parameters for a peace agreement on Israel and the Palestinians, as indicated by recently declassified phone conversations between US President Donald Trump's former adviser Michael Flynn and Russia's ambassador to the US at the time Sergey Kislyak.
The US and Russia denied reports that in December 2016, soon after then-US president Barack Obama allowed UN Security Council Resolution 2334 condemning Israeli settlement activity to pass, he pushed a second resolution that would be damaging to the Jewish state. The resolution passed because the US abstained, as opposed to its usual veto.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ended up convincing Russian President Vladimir Putin to threaten a veto. The resolution was never actually submitted to the UNSC, because it had no chance of passing.
But the Flynn-Kislyak transcripts declassified late last month indicated that the story of Putins veto of a second Obama-backed resolution first reported in Israel Hayom this week and further developed by The Jerusalem Post is, in fact true.

Netanyahu and trump are two sides of the same coin
Both Putin and Netanyahu also tried to influence the us election
Interesting that we are supposed to believe the traitor Flynn and Russian ambassador 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 of this
The reason I know this is a LIE is because Obama suggested a negotiation based on 1967 boundaries in 2011

That is from the Jerusalem Post.
I don't know if it is true or not. I came across it looking up Trump-Russia.

The 1967 boundaries were problematic themselves, the 1948 boundaries make no sense at all, and Obama is much more intelligent to know that

(92,138 posts)regardless it was a negotiation starting point. There was no way after the 67 war that I could see giving up Golan for security reasons, or Jerusalem where before the 67 war Jews were blocked from going in there to pray
The closest we came to an agreement was with Carter and Clinton
In Carters case Sharon sabotaged it, and with Clinton bush derailed it
Jon we might both saying the same thing, except the Jpost seems to be pushing a more hyperbolic version
