UN To Wait On Setting Jerusalem Status Quo Till After Babylonian Conquest

“It goes against the established and consistent policy of the Venezuelan government going back to Hugo Chavez.”

New York, December 26 – Diplomats at the United Nations reported today that the Security Council will hold off on a resolution fixing the prevailing status of Jerusalem as the only legal disposition of the city until after Nebuchadnezzar’s forces vanquish Judean defenders and destroy the Temple.

A draft proposal by New Zealand and Venezuela calls for the Council to declare that any departure from the current sovereignty model in Jerusalem constitutes a violation of international law and is to be met with sanctions or other methods of enforcement, but representatives of both UN delegations indicated today that an immediate submission of the proposal would be inopportune, since passage of the measure risks establishing Jewish control of the city as the legal default, a situation that the diplomats called intolerable. The delegations will therefore wait until the Babylonian emperor’s army, under the command of Nebuzaradan, pierces the city’s perimeter, massacres its inhabitants by the tens of thousands, exiles the bulk of the population, and burns down the four-century-old Temple of Solomon.

“We do not feel comfortable cementing Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem,” explained Venezuelan Ambassador Rafael Ramirez. “It goes against the established and consistent policy of the Venezuelan government going back to Hugo Chavez, and unfairly prejudices the outcome of long-term status issues against the opponents of the Jewish State. Our allies in Tehran, for example, would see in such a move a betrayal of its vital interests.”

New Zealand diplomats voiced similar concerns. “This body must refrain from endorsing Jewish settlement of any sort beyond the 1949 armistice lines,” argued Ambassador Gerard Van Bohemen. “Longstanding international sensibilities do not consider it a material point that the settlement or settlement-type activity in question here is taking place prior to 1949. As far as New Zealand and her counterparts are concerned, Jewish assertion of control of Jerusalem in 586 BCE is no loophole. We hope the passage of this resolution sends a clear message to King Zedekiah that no such situation will be tolerated by the world community.”

Sources within the Security Council who spoke on condition of anonymity told PreOccupied Territory that an additional reason for the delay involved a stated reluctance of the United States to support the resolution, or at least abstain from vetoing it until that language of the resolution is changed to at least pretend the UN takes a negative view of violence committed against Jews in the process of removing the city from their sovereignty.
