Israeli settlements
and administration in "the Arab territories occupied since 1967, including

Content
After noting a report by the Security Council Commission established in
Resolution 446
(1979), the council accepted and commended its work while criticising
Israel
for not cooperating with it. It expressed concern at Israeli settlement policy in the Arab territories and recalled resolutions
237
(1967),
252
(1968),
267
(1969),
271
(1969) and
298
(1971). It further called upon the state and people of Israel to dismantle such settlements.
The resolution continued by condemning Israel for prohibiting the travel of the Mayor of
Hebron
, Fahd Qawasma, to the security council, requesting it allow him travel to the
United Nations Headquarters
. It then ends by asking the commission to continue investigating the situation in the occupied territories with regard to depleted natural resources, while monitoring the implementation of the current resolution, asking it to report back to the council by 1 September 1980.
The resolution calls on all states 'not to provide Israel with any assistance to be used specifically in connection with settlements in the occupied territories'.
U.S. support
U.S. Ambassador to the UN
Donald McHenry
stated in the security Council immediately after the vote that the U.S. considered the resolution recommendatory and not binding.

On 3 March 1980
President Carter
clarified the US's position saying dismantling Israeli settlements is "neither proper nor practical" and that "Jerusalem should be undivided" with its status determined in peace negotiations. He further said the US approved the vote with the understanding that all references to Jerusalem were to be removed.

In a statement to the
United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations
on 20 March 1980 Secretary of State
Cyrus Vance
accepted "full responsibility for the misunderstanding.
