Durbin obstructs pro-Israel bill condemning UNSC

Sen. Dick Durbin has delayed a Senate bill assailing the United Nations Security Council for a resolution criticizing Israel, according to fellow Democrat Tom Udall . The New Mexico legislator told Jewish Insider outside of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing that Durbin has placed a “hold” on the measure, but if the Democratic Whip were to remove his objection, Udall would offer his own independent opposition.
