BBC World Service - Weekend, Israel Rejects UN Settlements Resolution

Prime Minister Netanyahu says Israel won't abide by UN calls to end illegal settlements

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel won't abide by UN calls to end illegal settlements.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel won't abide by a UN Security Council resolution calling for an end to illegal settlements, on occupied Palestinian land. The vote passed after Israel's main backer, the United States, chose not to use its veto.    

Also in the programme, a political crisis in the Democratic of Congo could be coming to an end.
