Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has summoned US Ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro for talks, two days after Washington abstained rather using its veto during of a vote of a resolution in the UN Security Council calling for an end to Israeli settlement building.

The resolution was passed in the 15-member Security Council because the U.S. broke with its long-standing approach of diplomatically shielding Israel and did not wield its veto power a decision that Netanyahu called "shameful."

During Sunday’s weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said that he shared the “anger and frustration” felt by the ministers around the table at the “imbalance and “very hostile resolution” against Israel.

“We have no doubt that the Obama Administration initiated it, stood behind it, coordinated the texts, and made sure it passed,” he said. “This is of course, in complete opposition to traditional US policy which committed itself to not trying to impose permanent agreement conditions, or anything connected to them, in the UN Security Council.”

Despite receiving a diplomatic reprimand from Netanyahu, who is also Foreign Minister, Dan Shapiro who is slated to end his tenure as ambassador soon, has asked the U State Department to let him stay on until the end of the school year in Israel as a private resident, according to a Yediot Aharonot report.

Shapiro, who arrived in July 2011 as a personal appointment of President Obama, submitted his unusual request in order to enable his daughter, an 11th grader who is doing the Israeli Bagrut(matriculation) to complete her studies.

If Shapiro's request will be authorized by the State Department, he will have to leave the ambassador's residence in Herzliya and transfer it to incoming ambassador David Friedman, who is supposed to arrive immediately after the Senate ratifies his appointment. If there will not be unforeseen delays, Friedman, who is a close associate of Donald Trump, is expected to arrive in February or March 2017.
