The U.S. will hold a reception for countries that did not vote last month to approve a United Nations (U.N.) resolution condemning the Trump administration's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said Tuesday.
"As I said in December, we won't forget the Jerusalem vote," Haley said at a news conference. "To that end, tomorrow night, we are having a reception for the countries who chose not to oppose the U.S. position [on Jerusalem]."
The U.N. General Assembly voted overwhelmingly last month to rebuke the Trump administration's announcement recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, despite threats from Haley and Trump that they would take stock of those countries that voted to oppose the U.S.
The resolution, while not legally binding, amounted to an international effort to pressure the Trump administration to reconsider its Jerusalem decision, which reversed decades of U.S. policy in the region. ...........................
