“We cannot continue to let Israel be treated with such total disdain and disrespect. They used to have a great friend in the U.S., but not anymore. The beginning of the end was the horrible Iran deal, and now this (U.N.)! Stay strong Israel, January 20th is fast approaching!” Trump wrote in a series of tweets.

The United Nations on Friday voted to condemn Israeli settlements in disputed territories. The U.S. had the ability to veto the resolution but abstained from doing so.

Trump, U.S. lawmakers and Israel harshly criticized the Obama administration for not blocking the U.N. resolution.

Trump has promised to repair the U.S.-Israel relationship, while Israeli leaders have accused the current White House of masterminding the U.N. vote.
