Israeli officials were reported as not expecting any major result to develop from the Security Council hearing in New York either from its complaint to the Council or from the Syrian complaint.

The slight importance Israel attaches to the Security Council debate was apparent from the delay with which Israel lodged its counter-complaint to the Council.
