Daily Mail: United Nations votes overwhelmingly against Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital – ignoring his threat to take cash away from countries defying U.S.
* United Nations held emergency General Assembly session Thursday over Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital
* Member nations voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions on a resolution regretting 'recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem'
* Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador, had already vetoed a similar resolution Monday in the Security Council
* Donald Trump says he could cut cash to countries that voted against the U.S.
* Haley warned Thursday that America will remember the tally when other nations ask it to continue funding the UN at a disproportionate level
* Diplomats expected strong support for the resolution – which is symbolic and nonbinding
In an emergency session, the United Nations voted overwhelmingly Thursday to condemn the U.S. for recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and pledging to relocate its embassy there.
The vote was 128–9, with 35 abstentions. Only Guatemala, Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo joined the United States and Israel in opposing the measure.
The resolution is symbolic and nonbinding, and won't likely change President Donald Trump's course of action.
