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 called for the United States to withdraw its recognition. The resolution was sponsored by Yemen and was supported by 128 countries, including Nigeria.
The breakdown of the vote was:
- 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 force, but it was seen as a symbolic rebuke to the United States and a reaffirmation of the international community's position on the status of Jerusalem.
It's worth noting that the United States had withdrawn from the UN Human Rights Council in June 2018, citing anti-Israel bias and a lack of effectiveness in promoting human rights. The US has also been critical of the UN General Assembly's voting patterns on issues related to Israel and has accused the organization of being biased against Israel.
