UN generation assembly rejected US decision on Jerusalem

7 countries, who voted against the resolution (along with Israel and US) are negligible.

Nevertheless, the countries who didn't vote, they were important and contained Canada and Australia etc. These are important countries and they should not be fearful of US threatening.

Just keep telling yourself that. What an incredible shame on you.

UN votes resoundingly to reject Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as capital

The United Nations general assembly has delivered a stinging rebuke to Donald Trump, voting by a huge majority to reject his unilateral recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

The vote came despite a redoubling of threats by Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, who warned that Washington would remember which countries “disrespected” America by voting against it.

Despite the warning, 128 members voted in favour of the resolution with only nine – including the United States and Israel voting against. There were 35 abstentions.

Immediately after the vote Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas described the result as a “victory for Palestine”.

Trump threatens to cut aid to countries over UN Jerusalem vote

The 193-member body voted instead to support the long-standing international consensus that the status of Jerusalem – which is claimed by both Israel and the Palestinians as a capital – can only be settled as an agreed final issue in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

Although largely symbolic, the vote in emergency session of the world body became the focus of days of furious diplomacy by both the Trump administration and Israel, including Trump’s threat to cut US funding to countries that did not back the US recognition.

Q&A
Why is recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital so contentious?
Speaking to the assembly, Haley – who earlier in the week told members that the US “would be taking names” – returned to the offensive.

“I must also say today: When we make generous contributions to the UN, we also have expectation that we will be respected,” she said. “What’s more, we are being asked to pay for the dubious privileges of being disrespected.”


Haley added: “If our investment fails, we have an obligation to spend our investment in other ways… The United States will remember this day.”

In his own speech Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon said UN members who backed the resolution were being manipulated. “You are like puppets pulled by your Palestinian masters,” he told the session.

While Thursday’s resolution was in support of existing UN resolutions on Jerusalem and the peace process, the clumsy intervention by Trump and Haley also made the vote a referendum on Trump’s often unilateral and abrasive foreign policy.

The debate and vote highlighted for a second time in a week the international isolation of the United States over the Jerusalem issue, following a vote in the security council on Tuesday over the same issue in which it was outnumbered 14-1.

The threatening US posture, which had been denounced as both counter-productive and “bullying”, only seemed to have hardened the resolve of countries in opposing Trump’s 6 December move.

The resolution, co-sponsored by Turkey and Yemen, called Trump’s recognition “null and void” and reaffirmed 10 security council resolutions on Jerusalem, dating back to 1967, including requirements that the city’s final status must be decided in direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.


It also “demands that all states comply with security council resolutions regarding the holy city of Jerusalem, and not to recognise any actions or measures contrary to those resolutions”.

Earlier on Thursday, as it had become clear that the US and Israel would be heavily defeated, Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu pre-emtively denounced the vote calling the UN a “house of lies.”

“The state of Israel rejects this vote outright,” Netanyahu said. “Jerusalem is our capital, we will continue to build there and additional embassies will move to Jerusalem.

“Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, whether or not the UN recognises this. It took 70 years for the United States to formally recognise this, and it will take years for the UN to do the same.”

Michael Oren, Israel’s deputy minister for diplomacy, called for Israel to cut its ties with the UN and expel the organisation from its Jerusalem offices.


“We must evict the UN from the scenic Governor’s House, where its bloated staff does nothing, and give this historic site to a school, a hospital or – best yet – a new US embassy.”

Canada is especially surprising here--considering Trudeau's liberal govt. But pleasantly surprised by the German folks: They have been blackmailed for decades by Israel, and Hollywood hasn't missed a chance to blackmail them every few years with a major movie.

But...the 35 Abstentions and 20 Absents are being used as a twist: "many countries didn't vote for this Resolution" logic. What a loser administration. Even NY Times has been very critical of Trump's Jerusalem move and is calling this a 'stinging' defeat in the UN.
