Jerusalem - "Al-Quds" dot com - The outgoing Israeli Prime Minister, Yair Lapid, sent a letter to 50 presidents around the world, calling on them to exercise their influence on the Palestinian Authority in order to prevent a vote in the General Assembly on a request for advice from the International Criminal Court on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. .

According to a statement from Lapid's office in Arabic and Hebrew, he expected "friends of Israel" to vote against the resolution if efforts to thwart it failed.

Israel has previously tried to pressure some countries not to vote in favor of the resolution within a UN committee, as the majority of countries voted in favor of the resolution, which will be presented next month to the UN General Assembly.
