Israel's Foreign Ministry summoned the Armenian ambassador 'for a serious reprimand' following Armenia's recognition of a Palestinian state, a ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Friday, June 21.

Dmitry Gendelman, an adviser to the office of the Jewish prime minister, said later, that the move will have “serious long-term consequences” for Israel-Armenia relations.

On May 10, the UN General Assembly adopted a draft resolution recommending the Security Council to reconsider Palestine's admission as a full UN member. The draft resolution was supported by 143 UN countries, including Russia.
