(JTA) – Israel will cut approximately $6 million of its annual contribution to United Nations’ bodies it deems “anti-Israel” following the passage by the U.N. Security Council of an anti-settlement resolution. The cuts represent “an act of protest” in response to the resolution adopted last month and target “the portion of the U.N. budget allocated to anti-Israel bodies,” said a statement Friday, Jan. 6 by Israel’s U.N. mission. Those bodies include the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, the Division for Palestinian Rights, the Work of the Special Committee to Investigate Israeli Practices Affecting the Human Rights of the Palestinian People and Other Arabs of the Occupied Territories, and the Special Information Program on the Question of Palestine of the U.N. Department of Public Information.

Israel’s annual contribution to the United Nations amounts to over $40 million, a spokesman for the mission told JTA in an email. The U.N.’s budget for 2016-17 totals $5.4 billion, with the U.S. being the largest contributor followed by Japan and China.

Israel’s decision to cut funds is “the first in a series of steps under consideration by the Foreign Ministry and the Israeli Mission in reaction to the recent Security Council resolution,” the statement said. The mission is planning to move ahead with additional initiatives after Donald Trump assumes the U.S. presidency on Jan. 20. Trump had called for a U.S. veto of the resolution, and slammed President Barack Obama after the vote for treating Israel with “total disdain and disrespect.” On Jan. 5, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, urged the U.S. to cut taxpayer funding to the U.N. unless the international body repeals the anti-settlement resolution.
