I knew that Israel usually voted along with the Americans, its closest ally and supporter. And since there were no Israelis around to tell me what to do, I figured that I might as well just ask the Americans....
"Um, yeah," I said, drawing out my words awkwardly and almost stuttering. "I'm, uh, representing Israel at this meeting...I just wanted to know if you would mind telling me how you guys were going to vote."
...he whispered, "We're voting no."
Our huddle broke then, and I fought the urge to give the American diplomats a high-five.
