Israel’s foreign ministry will summon ambassadors to vote in favor of Palestinian membership to the UN

Israel’s Foreign Ministry will summon ambassadors from various countries Sunday to express their displeasure with their support for a Palestinian membership bid this week at the United Nations, Israeli Foreign Minister Katz said Saturday.

The diplomatic push involves countries that have voted in favor of Palestinian membership in the UN and have ambassadors stationed in Israel, including France, Ecuador, Japan, Malta, South Korea, Slovenia, China and Russia.

Algeria, Sierra Leone, Guyana and Mozambique — which also supported the proposal — do not have embassies in Israel.
