Under New START, the treaty negotiated by Obama with Russia and ratified by the Senate in 2010, the United States and Russia by February 2018 must have no more than 1,550 strategic weapons deployed. While there is widespread agreement that the U.S. deterrent must be modernized, little enthusiasm has been expressed elsewhere for increasing the number of nuclear warheads.
Although consideration of such a measure has been circulated at the United Nations for weeks — and similar measures have for years brought a consistent U.S. veto — it was not until Wednesday night that word began to circulate that the United States might abstain and allow it to pass.
While successive administrations have considered the settlements an impediment to an Israeli-Palestinian peace process, the Obama administration has grown increasingly irate over what it feels is Israel’s flouting of its concerns.
Over the past six months, Israel has announced plans to add hundreds of units to existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. A July announcement that 770 new homes were to be built in the East Jerusalem settlement of Gilo drew particularly sharp U.S. criticism.
At the same time, right-wing voices in the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are pushing for legislation that would legalize settlements built on privately owned Palestinian land. The “legalization bill” stems from a court-ordered demolition of the Amona settlement, which sits on land owned by a Palestinian farmer.
Amona was meant to be demolished next week, but on Thursday it received an additional month of reprieve from the court. Residents brokered a deal with the government to move their homes to a nearby location, essentially creating a new settlement.
During the campaign, Trump frequently criticized what he described as the administration’s failure to fully support Israel. Last week, he named David Friedman — a New York bankruptcy lawyer who has given strong financial support and other backing to the Israeli settlement movement and has said Trump supports Israeli annexation of Palestinian territory — as his ambassador to Israel.
During the campaign, Trump also charged that Obama had helped promote terrorism by supporting “the ouster of a friendly regime in Egypt” — that of long-standing autocrat Hosni Mubarak — and more recently by failing to fully back the military government that overthrew Mubarak’s elected replacement.
Once it became clear late Wednesday that the settlements vote was scheduled for Thursday afternoon, Trump officials said the transition gave the administration a “heads-up” that the president-elect was going to publicly call for a U.S. veto.
At the end of the day Thursday, it was not entirely clear what led Egypt to withdraw the resolution. At the State Department, spokesman John Kirby said that Egypt had pulled it back in order to have “discussions with its Arab League partners” over the wording of the text.
Secretary of State John F. Kerry, who supported an abstention and was clearly expecting to deliver a pre-vote speech announcing it, along with an outline of future prospects for Middle East peace, canceled his plans. Elsewhere within the administration, officials said Israel had twisted Egypt’s arm and threatened to work against its interests in Congress.
Several Arab officials said they were convinced that the United States had pressured Egypt to postpone the vote.
In Israel, where a late-night cabinet meeting was convened Wednesday to consider the possibility of a U.S. abstention, Netanyahu sent out a dead-of-night tweet calling for a U.S. veto. It was quickly followed by Trump’s own, near-identical tweet.
After initial hesitation on whether Trump should weigh in, the statement was written late Wednesday by Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and an influential adviser to the president-elect, and Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist, according to two people briefed on the deliberation who were not authorized to speak publicly. They said that Kushner and Bannon consulted with several allies in Israel and the United States but declined to name them.
The effort represented perhaps Kushner’s most significant foray to date into foreign policy and the Middle East, where Trump has said he would welcome his son-in-law’s involvement.
After the statement was issued Thursday, a transition official told the Reuters news agency, Trump spoke by telephone with Sissi.

A puppy that fell into a well 10 days ago was rescued in an operation early on Feb. 15, state-run Anadolu Agency has reported.
The puppy named Kuyu (well) was rescued at 5:45 a.m. with a new method developed by students from Bahçeşehir Science and Technology High School.
The students developed a robotic arm for the rescue operation of the puppy and succeeded in bringing him out after three hours of operation.
Meanwhile, Turkish Coal Institute (TKK) teams from Zonguldak contributed their efforts to save the puppy, accompanied with a brief from Energy Minister Berat Albayrak.
Kuyu was adopted by the Beykoz Fire Crew after medical examinations.
Meanwhile, animal lovers, who have been following the incident, have warmly welcomed the puppy’s rescue, as social media users started trending the hashtag #direnkuyu (resist well) on Twitter.
The puppy dropped into a 70-meter-deep well that was drilled by the municipality around a week-and-a-half ago in the Dereseki Neighborhood in Beykoz district of Istanbul.
The dog has been provided with necessary food and water as the rescue operations continued.
The Mayor of Beykoz, Yücel Çelikbilek, who was following the rescue works in the area, said teams were doing their best.
“Rescue teams are trying new methods to rescue the dog. They are expending a lot of effort to save it. But the dog has not responded to their efforts and it has not been lured by any traps. If it does get into a [bucket] we won’t be able to get it out of the well. This is our only chance,” he added.
Retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, a proponent of tighter border controls and a favorite of Congress for his unscripted candor, has emerged as the top choice of President-elect Donald Trump for the cabinet post of Homeland Security secretary.
There was no immediate official confirmation of Kelly's pick from the Trump transition team, but several news outlets, including CBS and The New York Times, said the president-elect would name Kelly to the post next week -- along with his choice for secretary of state and other positions. CBS reported that Kelly had accepted the offer.
As head of the Homeland Security Department, the 66-year-old Kelly would head the government's third-largest department with a workforce of 220,000 and a wide range of responsibilities from airport security and border protection to disaster relief and guarding the president.
Kelly's authority would extend over the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, the Transportation Security Agency, Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, and the Federal Emergency Management Administration.
The nomination of Kelly, who retired last year as head of U.S. Southern Command, would not require a waiver from Congress as would Trump's choice of retired Marine Gen. James Mattis as Defense secretary. The law against retired military officers accepting top positions until seven years after retirement only applies to the Pentagon post.
If Kelly and Mattis were to be confirmed by the Senate, that would put three Marines in top security and defense posts for the Trump administration.
Current Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Joseph Dunford, a close friend of Kelly's and another Marine from the Boston area, served with Kelly in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Dunford also served as a regimental commander under Mattis in the 1st Marine Division.
Kelly is what Marines call a "Mustang," an officer who came from the enlisted ranks. He joined the Marines in 1970 and was discharged from active duty in 1972 as a sergeant. After graduating from the University of Massachusetts in 1976, he was commissioned as a second lieutenant through Officer Candidate's School.
His progression through the ranks gave Kelly the distinction of emulating a Marine Corps legend, the late Gen. Lewis B. "Chesty" Puller. As a colonel and assistant commander for the 1st Marine Division in Iraq in 2003, Kelly was promoted to brigadier general. It was the first known promotion of a Marine colonel serving in a combat zone since Puller.
In his long career, Kelly, much like Mattis, became a favorite of the press for speaking plainly, and colorfully. A Kelly quote became legend when his troops were poised outside Baghdad in 2003 and he was asked if it would be difficult to take the city. "Hell, these are Marines," Kelly said. "Baghdad ain't s---."
Kelly is also the highest-ranking officer to have lost a son in combat since the 9/11 terror attacks. In 2010, Marine 1st Lt. Robert Michael Kelly was killed in action in the Sangin district of Afghanistan's Helmand province.
Trump aides told The New York Times that the death of Kelly's son had a role in influencing his choice of the retired general for the Homeland post. The aides said Trump wanted individuals in security positions who understood on a personal level what it meant to send troops into combat.
As head of U.S. Southern Command, Kelly sought to expand military and humanitarian contacts in Latin America. He also constantly pleaded with the higher command for more Navy and Coast Guard assets to interdict the drug trade at sea.
Kelly also had command over the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention facility and came under criticism from human rights groups over the forced feeding of prisoners who went on hunger strikes.
Kelly was in line with Trump on keeping "Gitmo" open. In one of his free-wheeling news conferences at the Pentagon last January, Kelly said that the detainees at Guantanamo were "all bad boys. We have dossiers on all of them. Some of them were more effective in being bad boys than others."
Aston Villa outclassed hard-working League One side Brighton to ease into the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Villa took the lead after five minutes when Marc Albrighton found Nathan Delfouneso who side-footed home.
However, the Seagulls stunned Villa Park when Tommy Elphick equalised with a scruffy finish at the near post.
Ashley Young's header from Stewart Downing's cross put Villa back ahead and Fabian Delph added a third before Nicky Forster made it 3-2 late on.
With 56 places between the two sides on the league ladder, the six thousand Brighton fans who made the trip to Villa Park did so more in hope than expectation.
And those hopes were dented almost immediately by the Premier League side when Marc Albrighton, making only his second start for Villa, danced past the defence and handed Delfouneso a tap in from two yards.
Unfortunately for Albrighton, a knock picked up during that run forced Villa boss Martin O'Neill to replace him with James Milner moments later.
O'Neill had originally looked to rest Milner, making six changes from the side which overcame Blackburn 6-4 in the Carling Cup semi final in midweek.
And although they took the lead, the much-changed Villa side showed they might be susceptible to an upset when Brighton, 21st in League One, missed a fine opportunity to level.
Villa failed to defend a free-kick from Alan Navarro and the ball fell to striker Glenn Murray who volleyed over the bar from eight yards.
Five minutes later the Seagulls did shock the home side when Elphick equalised.
Villa failed to deal with a second corner in quick succession from Elliott Bennett and Elphick squeezed his shot inside the near post.
Immediately after half time Villa, who are seventh in the Premier League, reasserted their superiority when Downing's cross found Young who headed home from close range.
Delph could have increased the lead but his drive was saved at point blank range by Brighton goalkeeper Michel Kuipers.
But the 19-year-old did not have to wait for too long before he had another opportunity to open his Villa account and this time the youngster capitalised.
The midfielder, who has only featured for Villa nine times since signing from Leeds last August, latched on to Milner's through ball and calmly slotted the ball past Kuipers with his left foot.
Delfouneso hit the post with a rasping effort at the end of a fine individual 30-yard run as Villa looked, in vain, to add the fourth.
And it was Brighton who managed to make the final seconds tense when Forster drove his finish low into the bottom corner, but the dream comeback was not to be.
"Can we reach two cup finals this season? We are certainly going to try. We've reached one already and now we're in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
"Of course, you need some luck with the draw and a lot of things can happen in cup matches which are one-off games.
"But if the quality players we've got here stay fit, there is no reason why we shouldn't try and achieve the double."
"We put everything into the game and the fans were absolutely fantastic.
"We made a couple of mistakes and paid the price for that, but we showed during this game that we can compete with better players.
"I was never going to come to Villa Park and try and play for a 0-0 and be boring.
"That is not my style. I wanted to come and entertain and the boys can be proud of their efforts."
