Here is the result of the UN vote on Jerusalem. Nine countries voted against the resolution, while 128 voted in favour, sending a warning to United States to revers its decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The voting was preceded by a number of member states explaining their stance on the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Turkey, which has led the Muslim opposition to the US Jerusalem declaration, was among the first to speak at the meeting. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stressed that only a two-state solution and sticking to the 1967 borders can be a foundation for a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine. The minister said that since Jerusalem is the cradle for the “three monotheistic religions,” all of humanity should come together to preserve the status quo. With Reuters.
