U.S. President Donald Trump's push to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital is met with
strong resistance at the UN.
According to our No Aram, a resounding majority of members defied unprecedented threats by
Washington... to vote for a withdrawal of that decision.
Widespread defiance of President Trump's declaration on Jerusalem was already apparent at Monday's
UN Security Council meeting when all other nations apart from the U.S. backed a resolution
calling on Trump to rescind his move.
That was eventually vetoed by America and therefore didn't get adopted.
That sparked the Palestinians and their Arab and Islamic supporters to seek Thursday's
General Assembly vote.
Results were 128 in favor, nine against and 35 abstentions.
The vote came despite warnings from the U.S. ambassador that Washington was willing to
sever its hefty funding to the world body.
(English) AP - 7002294 / 1 "When we make generous contributions to the
UN, we also have a legitimate expectation that our good will is recognized and respected.
When a nation is singled out for attack in this organization, that nation is disrespected.
What's more, that nation is asked to pay for the "privilege" of being disrespected.
Haley said the U.S. will put its embassy in Jerusalem regardless of the vote.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also said afterward that he totally rejects
what he called the "preposterous" resolution.
But, he took the time to thank nations that chose to abstain.
Those who voted in favor included many U.S. aid recipients including Jordan and Egypt,
as well as many American allies.
President Trump's threat of cutting foreign aid had raised the stakes at Thursday's emergency
meeting and triggered accusations from Muslims of U.S. bullying, blackmail and intimidation.
Arab, Islamic and non-aligned nations rejected his warnings and urged a "yes" vote.
The non-binding resolution states that any decisions regarding the status of Jerusalem
are "null and void" and must be cancelled.
