Joint (Arab) List chairman Ayman Odeh responds to the UN vote.
“It appears that the prime minister’s non-stop trips around the world mainly serve his avoidance of the interrogation room,” he says, referring to the corruption investigations against Netanyahu.

Odeh says the vote, which passed 128-9, shows that “in the international arena, there still exists a large and definitive majority that believes that the Palestinian people, like all other nations, deserve a place in this world and the right to self determination.”
“This evening’s vote by the majority of the world’s nations against Trump’s announcement, in spite of the pressure and threats, is contradiction of Trump and Netanyahu’s diplomatic policy and a clear statement to the international community in support of peace and the right of the Palestinians to an independent state, whose capital is East Jerusalem,” he concludes.
