Estonia’s foreign minister Urmas Reinsalu said that Estonia has changed its policy toward Israel and will no longer vote for UN resolutions condemning Israeli actions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Instead, the European country is looking to align its UN voting position in such matters, from now on, with Washington, its closest security policy ally and a key partner of Jerusalem.

According to a report published Monday by the Estonian public broadcaster ERR, Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu said Estonia — an European Union and NATO member — recently voted together with the United States against the condemnation of Israel at the UN.

That stance was apparent last week when Estonia was one of 17 countries to vote against a resolution requesting the International Court of Justice “urgently” weigh in on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Israeli “annexation.”

Previously, Estonia has usually voted for resolutions condemning Israel at the UN together with several other countries.
