Trumps jerusalem decision nigeria 127 others vote
You're referring to the United Nations General Assembly vote on December 21, 2017, regarding the United States' recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
On that day, the UN General Assembly voted on a resolution that rejected the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The resolution was sponsored by Yemen and was supported by 128 countries, including Nigeria.
The vote was as follows:
- In favor: 128 countries
- Against: 9 countries (including the United States, Israel, and several other countries with close ties to Israel)
- Abstentions: 35 countries
The resolution was non-binding and did not have any legal effect on the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital. However, it was seen as a symbolic rebuke of the US decision and a reaffirmation of the international community's position on the status of Jerusalem.
It's worth noting that the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital was widely criticized by many countries, including Nigeria, which has traditionally been a strong supporter of the Palestinian cause. The Nigerian government issued a statement expressing its "deep disappointment" with the US decision and calling for a peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
