Palestinians slam ‘unacceptable’ US veto of Jerusalem UN resolution
The Palestinian government slams the “unacceptable” US veto of a draft UN resolution against President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
A spokesman for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas says the veto was “unacceptable and threatens the stability of the international community because it disrespects it.”
The 14 other countries on the Security Council voted in favor, but US Ambassador Nikki Haley exercised the American veto.
