Foreign Ministry instructs embassies to lobby against UN Jerusalem vote
The Foreign Ministry instructs Israeli embassies to push countries to vote against a General Assembly resolution on Thursday condemning Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
In the case of countries backing the resolution, the Foreign Ministry advised diplomats to encourage countries to at least refrain from expressing public support for it.
Israeli diplomats have also been told to emphasize the measure is one-sided and will harm prospects for peace, and may also lead to further violence.
