UN Fails Trump, Votes 128-9 To Reject US Decision On Jerusalem

The United Nations General Assembly on Thursday defied warnings from the United States and overwhelmingly passed a resolution condemning the Trump administration’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and calling on countries not to move their diplomatic missions to the city.

A total of 128 countries voted in favor of the text, defying the threats.

The Times of Israel reports nine countries voted in support of the US. They are

US, Israel, Togo, Micronesia, Guatemala, Nauru, Palau, Marshall Islands and Honduras.

There were 35 abstentions, including a number of countries that had been widely expected to support the move, such as Colombia, Mexico, Malawi and Rwanda. A further 21 countries did not vote at all.
