Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu fired back at the United Nations following last week�s UN General Assembly vote in which the forum rejected President Donald Trump�s recognition of Jerusalem as being Israel�s capital. The vote passed 128-9 with 35 abstentions.

Mr. Netanyahu stated, “Israel completely rejects this preposterous resolution. Jerusalem is 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 Ambassador Haley, for their stalwart defense of Israel and their stalwart defense of the truth.”
