Netanyahu thanks US, Australia, Rwanda and Nigeria for votes
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu Wednesday thanked four nations for helping to defeat a Palestinian statehood resolution in the UN Security Council. He said: "I would like to voice appreciation and thanks to the United States and Australia, and also special appreciation for the president of Rwanda, my friend Paul Kagame, and the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan. I spoke with both of them. They told me and promised me, personally, that they would not support this resolution. They kept their word, and that's what clinched this matter. I think this is very important for the state of Israel," the premier said.
