UN rejects US decision recognizing Jerusalem as Israeli capital

Share:

Palestine flagMore than 100 countries defied President Donald Trump on Thursday and voted in favor of a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. His warning did appear to have some impact with nine countries voting against the resolution and 35 abstaining. A total of 128 countries voted for the resolution.

A spokesman for Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the U.N. vote on Thursday.

β€œThe vote is a victory for Palestine,” said Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rdainah. β€œWe will continue our efforts in the United Nations and at all international forums to put an end to this occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital.”

  1. What a huge, amazing , fantastic, unbelievable defeat for Trump . He should have known better .
    Look who voted with his decision !!! miserable defeat
    Bravo Palestine !

    1. Arzna, representative of Ukraine was not presented at the voting
      The time of political corrupted UN comes to an end

      1. Because Ukraine is in an awkward position. Not coming to vote is strategic. No vote means a YES.
        If they were to vote YES then the US help will stop and they need their help to stop Putin bullying them.

        1. Romania announced its intention to move the embassy to Jerusalem

          1. Do you have any link that indicates this announcement?

          2. Yes, sorry, i google translated “yellow” title
            “Not exactly, Romania parliament head calls to β€˜seriously consider’
            Jerusalem embassy move. Liviu Dragnea cites ‘practical matters’ in his
            position, noting all Israeli central institutions are in the city https://www.timesofisrael.com/romania-parliament-head-calls-to-seriously-consider-jerusalem-embassy-move/

          3. Guatemala plans to move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales said on his official Facebook account on Sunday.

            Morales said he had spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and instructed Guatemala’s foreign ministry to “initiate the process to make it possible.” https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d901c8b90dbf221b72af7e2471dc3a0424e905c7f17c61df08d8593265aca76c.jpg The Central American nation is the first country to announce it would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem since Trump issued his announcement December 6.
            “Today I spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,” Morales said on Facebook.
            (CNN)

            Guatemala’s leader made the announcement on Christmas Eve, three days after two-thirds of UN member states rejected Trump’s decision to have the United States recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
            (France24)

            Who is next?
            What kind of reactions there will be due to this decision?
            Will it split the world more?

      1. This move did him in… He won’t get reelected. The US standing in the world shrunk even further. Sad!

  2. The result is not any surprise – it was crystal clear, however I don’t understand Trumps political point of view (that is if he has any…).

    Donald Trump is a business, not politician.

    Certainly money causes the world to spin, but it only results in damage for the entire planet.

    1. Trump failed also in business. He declared bankruptcy several times and the one who saved him was a Lebanese- American billionair

    1. LOL

      1. Hind Abyad Avatar

        ;-))

  3. 128 UN member states voted in favor of a draft measure (21 countries were absent) that declares US President ‘Twitter’ Trump’s Jerusalem decision “null and void.”

    Support for the measure was lower than expected and 21 countries were absent, leading some to believe Washington’s threat to cut off financial aid to countries that support the measure may have had an impact.
    However this vote is not binding, perhaps it will contribute to a new start of negotiations between Israel and the Arab Palestinian authority.

    Germany’s Foreign Office tweeted its reasoning, after the vote; “the status of Jerusalem should be negotiated between Israelis and Palestinians. It should not be prejudged.”

    Trump’s decision to recognize whole Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and to move the US embassy there, broke with decades of US foreign policy as well as braking with the international consensus on the issue.

    Personally I don’t believe in any peaceful solution of this conflict.
    To much hatred and bloodshed are the main obstical for any kind of peace deal.

            I believe in Jesus Christ unlike those who put him on a cross because he was trying to stop their deceitful ways. What kind of religious people are they? they carry guns and kill palestinians and kick out of their homes. Are these the same actions of Daesh..

          7. In Islam, ΚΏΔͺsā ibn Maryam (‘Jesus, son of Mary’), is understood to be the penultimate prophet and messenger of God (Allah) and al-Masih, the Arabic term for Messiah (Christ), sent to guide the Children of Israel (banΔ« isrā’Δ«l in Arabic) with a new revelation.
            However I assuming that you mean that you are Christian –
            Maronite?

            Jesus Christ was crucified by the romans.

            In the late 6th century Darius makes Syria and Palestine, together with Cyprus, the fifth satrapy of his empire. The people living in this province became to be Palestinians.
            In this province it was Jerusalem which has a turbulent history in Roman times.
            The Jews of Palestine prove exceptionally hard to govern.

            In the present time the Arabs of Palestine prove exceptionally hard to govern.

          8. We are not here to argue religion… The Jews are free to practice their religion. It is up to God to judge not humans. God will only judge your actions. If you are a good person even as an atheist you have a place in paradise. That is what Jesus preached.

            “In the present time the Arabs of Palestine prove exceptionally hard to govern.”
            You’re intellectually dishonest piking and choosing
            If we need Googling will call you…

            “HISTORY OF SYRIA AND PALESTINE”
            The Roman rulers are not the first to link Syria administratively with Palestine.
            In the late 6th century Darius makes Syria and Palestine, together with Cyprus, the fifth satrapy of his empire. During the Seleucid dynasty Syria and Palestine are under joint control in the 2nd century. Then, for some 700 years from the 1st century BC, the Roman and Byzantine empires unite the region.

            The three main cities are the very ancient Damascus and the more recent Antioch in Syria, and Jerusalem in Palestine. Of these it is Jerusalem which has a turbulent history in Roman times. The Jews of Palestine prove exceptionally hard to govern”.

            What it means:
            “This is the period when the Zealots emerge – a radical political group committed to the ending of Roman rule in Palestine, using terrorism as one of its main forms of argument.”

    How come that despite this overwhelming amount of Arab countries they still can’t manage a ‘siple’ task?

    1. Because despite your schooling you still do not get it. This is like comparing ALL German or ALL English speaking people as one. Arab countries have NOTHING in common except a language and that can be argued. I speak Arabic and yet I cannot comprehend a word of African Arab. So stop lumping them together because they are NOT one nation.

      1. “Arab countries have NOTHING in common except a language and that can be argued.”

        So why do they look, act, and think (especially hate) alike? πŸ™‚

          So does the jewish extremists. They hated Christ so they put him on the cross. They could not handle that this is the son of God who tried to bring peace and healing into this world. Because they were so selfish since then and still they kept pushing the Romans to have him killed. What do Jewish extremists and Secular jews have in common.. Nothing.. you have Jews from african countries and other arab countries and you treat them like a second class citizens. stop acting if you are one united Israel.

          1. I do hope you continue writing these long-winded missives. Maybe it will disabuse some well-intentioned people of any illusions they might have in your regard.

            Stop writing so fancy schmancy and look at the facts. What kind of religious people carry guns and go around and move people out and take over their homes. Honestly do you think these guys are any different than the muslim extremists who pray in the mosques and go out and kill people. Secular jews hate the settlers whether you want to admit it or not.
            Besides most settlers are traitors to their country since they refuse to serve in IDF. And if we wouldn’t for the jews who were born in Europe and learned a lot from them, Israel technology will be no different than the arabs who live in the desert.

          3. Danny, why need BS? Please visit Israel to see real mostly beautiful situation (sure as in any country there are real problems, but You are not familiar and ignorant what is really good or bad)

            I would love to but until Israel and the Palestinians work for peace, then no need to visit.
            I have mentioned this before I did not like what they did to Lebanon and I could careless for hezbollah. But that doesn’t mean I support Israel or their hegemony over the Palestinian people. Let them have their areas and let them be instead of letting the settlers taking over their homes. You cannot convince me that these areas all belong to the jews. These palestinians have been living there all their lives. SO you want to kick them out and ask us to make peace with you while we have to maintain over 300,000 palestinians in Lebanon whom were kicked out of their areas. You can’t have it both ways. once you achieve peace with them, then come talk to me about visiting Israel. Until then no thanks I will stay in Lebanon.

          5. You are not in reality, Danny. So called by You and by stupid follytical people FaLIEstinians are usual Orabians, selected and follytically corrected in Soviet KGB in June 1964. How Orabians and their “international community” friends including You want real peace? Real peace can not be established with hoax, fake names. Please contact f.e. Hamas or Islamic Jihad and ask what they want exactly, lol, please stop calling Orabians “FaLIEstinians”

          6. Once again you spin it to suit your zionist agenda. Listen to the 128 countries. Are they ALL wrong voting against you and Trump at the UN? NO! They are fair.

          7. Hind Abyad Avatar

            Glad he’s blocked

          8. I said you, suck UN follytics, UN is theatre of anti Israel absurd. 128 are not all. Some less are fair like Trump. Jerusalem is a capital of Israel despite UN anyway. UN is impotent (Syria, NK, Africa etc.) Please leave you antizionist agenda, Hanni

          9. OK let me entertain you with your thought… You value democracy right? Then in a democratic assembly (UN) where the US tries to bully everyone by hegemony while preaching the values of freedom and democracy to the world, tell me what type of democracy is Israel preaching? I can tell you… My way or the highway. Israel and the US actions at the UN are no different than Syria’s regime actions in Syria.

          10. i’m value meritocracy, not so called democracy.
            “Our Democracy is self-destructing because it abused the right of freedom and equality, because it taught the citizens to consider insolence as a right, illegality as freedom, impudence of reason as equality and anarchy as bliss.” (Isocrates)

          11. Again insults when you run out of logic.

          12. ? I’m agree so called (not by me but by KGB) FaLIEstinians is follytical insult for Orabians

          13. The word Palestine comes from the Philistines. The primary source about the Philistines is the Hebrew Bible. They existed in the land with the Hebrews. They have every right to exist today as you do. Stop trying to erase them from history by considering their plight a lie.
            In 2016, a large Philistine cemetery was discovered, containing more than 150 dead buried in oval-shaped graves.

          14. Not me erasing, You are intentionally erasing huge difference “Philistines” and “Falsetinians”

          15. Exactly like you erase the difference between a Jew and a Hebrew. Ivanka Trump now is Jewish, does that make her a Hebrew? Palestinians are the product of the Aramaic, Canaanite, Philistines people. There is no denying it. The DNA evidence shows it as well. So if you deny history, can you deny DNA evidence? NO

          16. Hamastanians and Fatahlandians are not Cretians, rather Egyptians-Saudians, can YOU deny DNA evidence?

          17. Really? Look at 3ahed in the picture above. Does she look Egyptian or Saudi to you? You don’t have to answer that… πŸ˜‰

          18. What about spirit? Ugly Liberal Fundamentalism has no DNA

          19. Well put.

            The arrest was plotted.. this evil scares Lucifer himself.

            “The crime the Tamimis are being charged with revolves around incitement and assault. What the Israeli court cannot fathom, and refuses to recognize, is the fact that the soldiers’ presence at the Tamimi’s home in the first place was unjust and part of an illegal occupation.

            To add to the anger, just a few moments before Ahed and her cousin Nour were videotaped yelling at the army, the same soldiers raided their home and shot Ahed’s cousin, 14-year-old Mohammad Fadel Tamimi, in the head. He is now in intensive care, according to Palestinian media and rights groups.”
