"The EU cannot hide behind the UN. EU, UN, are the same thing. What is happening in Libya, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq? All those countries, they are acting against the UN, against the EU, and they are acting against Israel. The UN is being destroyed," Netanyahu said during a live address broadcast on the State of Israel's TV channel.
.
Netanyahu said that Russia, China, India and the United States have all voted with Israel in denouncing the resolution, and said that "the majority of UN members are against the resolution."
.
The Israeli prime minister said that the resolution "is a declaration of war against the state of Israel and against its citizens."
.
Netanyahu said that the text of the resolution "was drafted before the start of the war on Gaza and was biased against Israel even before the war started."
.
Israeli officials also claimed that the UN Security Council vote was not unanimous.
.
Netanyahu called the resolution "a declaration of war against Israel. It is a declaration of war against the Israeli citizens, against its right to self-defence. It is a declaration of war against the Western wall, against the security barrier, and against the IDF (Israel Defence Forces)," he said.

Ayoub El-Frad, co-founder of the Israeli nonprofit group Citi Foundation, said the cuts by Knesset members and others were part of a campaign to discredit the foundation, which he said began before the 2012 murder of three Israeli teenagers that has shaken Israel.
.
"There's a lot of pressure from this side and from that side to take this organization down, to boycott this organization, to discredit it," he said. "Some of the biggest names in the government are trying to hit back against the foundation."
.
The foundation has raised more than $5 million for public-interest groups in Israel.
.
Citi Foundation's financial activities have come under scrutiny in the past, most notably in 2003 when it was revealed that some of its donors used funds to pay for donations.
