Israel summoned the Ukrainian ambassador on Tuesday to express its “dismay” over the country’s support for a recent United Nations resolution backing an international investigation into the Middle East nation’s ongoing occupation of the Palestinian territories.

Israel has criticized the draft resolution, which called on the International Court of Justice to urgently give its opinion on the legality of its “settlement and annexation of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967.”
