US reportedly mulling cutting UN funding over settlement blacklist
[IsraelTimes] US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley...first woman to serve as Governor of South Carolina, and the second Indian-American governor in the country, after Bobby Jindal of Louisiana. At the age of 39, Haley is the youngest current governor in the U.S., a distinction formerly held by Jindal. She is a Republican, which really grates on the Dems... is reportedly threatening to cut funding to UN bodies over a document being written up that singles out companies doing business with Israeli settlements. The so-called settlement blacklist has been called "shameful" by Haley and Israeli officials have railed against its creation. According to Israel’s Channel 2, one the bodies that may have funding cut is the UN Human Rights Council, which is drawing up the list and has been bashed by US officials for its anti-Israel bias.
