The UNSC has passed a resolution, which called on Israel to stop settlements construction in the West Bank, after the United States has abstained from using the veto, allowing for the resolution to pass.
Sunday is a day off in Israel and summoning ambassadors on Christmas is very unusual.
The Israeli government has rejected the UN resolution saying it will continue to build settlements in the West Bank in a challenge of the international community’s resolutions and consensus.
