Condiments rather than condemnation will be on the table when Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin meets with the U.N. Security Council on Friday evening.
The prime minister, along with ambassadors of Security Council members with which Israel has ties, will be hosted for dinner by Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gad Yaacobi.
Thirteen of the 15 Security Council members are expected to be represented at the dinner, including all five permanent members: the United States, Russia, China, France and England.
