The United Nations General Assembly has rejected the United State's decision to recognize Jersualem as the capital of Israel.
The UN voted 128 to nine, with 35 abstentions, a motion rejecting the US decision.
President Donald Trump had warned ahead of the vote in the 193-nation assembly that “we’re watching” and threatened reprisals against countries backing the measure, which reaffirms that the status of Jerusalem must be resolved through negotiations.
Seven countries — Guatemala, Honduras, Togo, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and the Marshall Islands — joined Israel and the United States in opposing the measure.
