From Palestinian minister slams US ‘threats’ ahead of UN vote over Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Malki accuses the US of “threatening” member countries of the UN General Assembly ahead of a vote on rejecting the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Al-Malki says the US is “committing another mistake when they have distributed this famous letter trying to threaten countries, (and) threaten their sovereign decision to choose how to vote,” at a press conference with his Turkish counterpart in Istanbul.
US Ambassador Nikki Haley on Tuesday warned countries that she will report back to US President Donald Trump with the names of those who support a draft resolution rejecting the US recognition.
