The two thirds majority has comfortably reached the spoke to a sweeping repudiation of President Trumps unilateral action in recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel the result heralded by the apparent isolation of the u. S. Delegation in the chamber and the enthusiastic welcome given to the palestinians. Whose foreign minister addressed the assembly and insisted that jerusalem would be the capital of a palestinian state mr Merrill Young we need today not because of any animosity towards the u. S. But because of its decision which constitutes an aggression on the genuine and natural rights of the Palestinian People to the city of jerusalem the israeli ambassador holding up a two thousand year old coin as evidence of israels claim to the city it proves the ancient connection of the jews to jerusalem and togo one dearest sent guatemala to join the six nations that had voted against a similar resolution affirming jerusalem status last month and the number of abstentions increased from nine to thirty five the spec haps a result of the threats made by the us to retaliate financially against those who voted in favor this is bullying and this jumble will not bow to the duck it is unethical who think that works and dignity off Member States are for sale let me put it in these three we will not be intimidated you can be strong but if this doesnt make you right dismissive u. S. Reaction during the Turkish Foreign minister speech and the ambassador once again adopted a threatening tone in her response the United States will remember the stay in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very act of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember it when we are called upon to once again make the Worlds Largest contribution to the United Nations what there are questions now about the future of u. S. Led attempts to renew negotiations particularly as the palestinian leadership insists it will not talk to u. S. Representatives in the light of President Trumps decision the u. S. Ambassador claimed the vote could determine the way in which u. S. Citizens view the United Nations in reality though the result reflects a global condemnation of President Trump his strategy and his policies mike hanna aljazeera United Nations meanwhile israels Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu called the u. N. Vote preposterous and thanked president. Israel completely reject just preposterous was allusion drusillas our capital always was always will be but i do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd so i appreciate that and especially i want to again express our thanks to President Trump and investor do only for their store difference of israel and theres a difference of the truth im extremely encouraged that the vast majority of the states of the members of the United NationsGeneral Assembly did not succumb to american black men and did not accept their insults. And they stood up for justice for the rule of law and for what is right. Well donald trump has already proposed deep cuts to u. S. Foreign aid as part of his twenty eight thousand budget currently egypt is the biggest recipient of u. S. Aid behind israel followed by jordan of ghana stunned and kenya all nine of the top aide recipients behind israel voted against the u. S. Except for kenya were skipped the meeting but the trumpet ministration could have a difficult time cutting foreign Aid Assistance as it warned some aid programs like the one to egypt are mandated by congress and any major withdrawal of u. S. Aid to african countries that took the side of the palestinians would further open the door to china which is competing for a greater influence on the continents roslan jordan has more from washington d. C. It may warm the hearts of conservative republicans and christians here in the United States to hear the u. S. President donald trump and the u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haleys say that there will be financial and perhaps other diplomatic rep or cautions for countries that voted for a resolution calling on the u. S. To resend its decision to put its embassy in jerusalem and recognize that city as the capital of israel the u. S. President has said that he is more than prepared to cut Financial Aid to other countries that have voted for this resolution and nikki haley has repeated a statement that she has been making since the beginning of her tenure as u. S. Ambassador which is that she is going to be quote taking names in fact there is now a rumor that shes going to be holding a reception for the countries that voted against the resolution for showing their support for the United States and by extension for israel but the practical point is this trying to decide not to spend money on Foreign Policy policy is something that has to go through congress the first attempt by the trumpet ministration to cut Foreign Affairs spending has already been rebuffed by members of congress both republican and democratic the other part of it is that some of the foreign aid that the u. S. Spends every year is mandated by congress and it would take an act of congress to for example not provide military aid to jordan or to egypt and thats something that probably members of congress are not going to be inclined to change or to resist giving more money to members of nato such as to turkey which also voted for this resolution again this is something that congress would probably take a dim view of so this may be good political rhetoric at the end of a dairy very difficult Political Year for. The Top Administration but it may not help the claim to pay off and it may be practically impossible for the trumpet ministration to make good on its threats the u. S. Vice president mike pence has made a surprise visit to afghanistan he met with afghan leaders as well as u. S. Troops stationed in the country penn said the trumpet ministration wants to take advantage of what he called new alignments in the region. With with the rising threat of iran in the region you have many urban nations that are engaged in something that could be described as the beginning of a new alignment. And taking the opportunity this is stuart moment as the president did. At the summit but he attended that historic summit. To call on arab countries to partner with us in the war against terrorism but also to call all the countries israel and arab countries to come together to achieve. Peace thats been so elusive.
