Kirby Refuses to Say if the U.S. Will Vote or Abstain on Israeli Settlements Resolution

RUSH EXCERPT:
KIRBY: "I won't speak for the president-elect and positions he might take on this. I can tell you, as you know, the draft language of that resolution went public last night. There was supposed to be a vote today. The Egyptians, who introduced the language, asked for a postponement. And so we are postponed."
KEILAR: "Yes. Was the U.S. Going to vote? Was the U.S. Going to abstain?"
KIRBY: "I am not going to get ahead. We never preview our votes."
KEILAR: "We appreciate it. We know Egypt is delaying the vote. But what does it mean from your perspective as a member of the Obama Administration to be boxed in by the president-elect? Was there some sort of notice given or --"
KIRBY: "Well, look, I don't -- again, without previewing what we may do if and when this resolution comes to a vote, nobody here felt boxed in by a tweet from the president-elect, and he is perfectly entitled to express his views on these kinds of things. But there was no boxing in of our purview or how we might deal with this going forward. We need to, again, let the process move forward."
