(added) The Israeli UN Ambassador responded to the vote:

Last night we asked, If Obama chooses the UN over Congress, what next?, reflecting bipartisan demands that the administration not commit the nation at the UN until Congress has had a chance to exercise its agreed-upon 60-day review.

The Obama administration moved forward anyway.

How will Congress react?
