Week in Review: U.S. Ambushes Israel in UN, Xi’s Power Grab, Iran Presses Advantage, and Much More

• Barack Obama is making use of his last days in the American presidency—last week he struck a serious blow to Israel by allowing a strongly anti-Israel resolution to pass at the United Nations.

• Newly released secret documents show just how concerned UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher was about Germany’s unification. Time has really proven those concerns justified.

• China’s President Xi Jinping is taking more and more power to himself, contrary to laws meant to prevent that from happening.

• We’ll also talk about America sanctioning Russia over allegations of cyberattacks—what the battle for the Iraqi city of Mosul says about Iran—how the Catholic Church response to the migrant crisis may be growing more strict—Japan’s prime minister visiting Pearl Harbor—and how America’s Big City mayors are uniting against Donald Trump.
