Ambassador nikki haley Standing Firm after the un votes to condemn the recognition of jerusalem as his relapse capital and move the embassy. Our next guest, the director of the israel project, says the move will only strengthen the United States ties to israel. Millions of americans heading home for the holidays. Are you one of them . Todd pyro at new york airport just outside the city. Reporter get ready to meet some important people, these were the ones that got to the airport at 4 00 am but do not expect it to be this easy later today, we are live in the work airport on the greatest game day right before christmas when fox and friends first returns. America at the embassy in jerusalem, that is what the American People want us to do and the right thing to do. No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that. An overwhelming majority of the un General Assembly ignoring threats from the Trump Administration to cut funding over a vote condemn the decision to you move the us embassy to jerusalem but how much do these countries rely on the United States and what could this mean for diplomatic relations going forward. Joining me, thank you for coming. As we look at the numbers here the United States spends by far the most on the un itself, 2. 1 billion, every other nation combined, 5. 2 billion, is this organization the United Nations in the eyes of this administration. I dont think it is obsolete but one of the things they were talking about is for lack of a better way of saying it the threats worked. The United Nations passes 80 of its resolution when it condemns israel and we know the president has been skeptical about this and nikki haley has. When they came out with their threats for the last couple days this ended up being, it looks from the outside in, a historic low watermark, couldnt get two third of the General Assembly to oppose israel and the ambassador knows this and has reached out to the actual friends of the United States to condemn us. One of the questions moving forward is is it obsolete . The question is, can the rest of the country that voted against the United States for our sovereign decision to move our embassy, what are they going to do . Rebuilding and restoring these relationships. Rob israel doesnt have a lot of fanfare in the world, not a lot of countries really support israel. The United States is one of its few friends. You see a lot of folks abstain from this, didnt want to touch it, they dont want to stir the pot . This would come with ramifications it sounds like a lot of anger in the middle east, 35 countries abstained from this vote. What did you make of that . There is a lot of fairly insider regional analysis about this stuff so you look at the efforts israeli Prime Minister benjamin and yahoo made to expand the list of his relapse friends, places like tours of countries in africa, south america and a lot of those countries abstained. Or move from yes to abstain or abstain to know on these folks and the easy answer is the right one which is a lot of smaller countries that dont want to get on the wrong side of the Trump Administration looked at what Ambassador Haley said, a number of times over the course of the week including the hours leading up to the vote that the president would take it personally of our friends around the world condemned the sovereign decision. The list of countries that get the most military spending as of 2016 by the us, iraq at the top, 4 billion, israel 3 billion, egypt 1 billion, this started with egypt. We spend a lot of money overseas but it is a good idea in some respects to our own interests, trying to keep these areas stable. Is it a good idea to pull money out of these countries . That is the right question. The Trump Administration listens to what measures it will take. Egypt is an interesting case because the egyptians did not initiate this resolution, it was initiated by the turks and yemen but egypt is an interesting example because they are on the security council, for all the talk in the media about how this isolated the United States, after the nonbinding vote in the morning in the General Assembly there was another vote in the security council. A binding vote that egypt was involved in that was on a us resolution involving International Security against foreign terrorist fighter that passed unanimously. Egypt is another example, countries want to make it right for the us. Thanks for coming on this morning, appreciate the perspective. We will be right back.
