My comment on: U.S. vetoes U.N. call for withdrawal of Trump Jerusalem decision
And what exactly was the US expected to do?
Regardless of whether the decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and finally move the US embassy there is a bad idea or not, the resolution directly attacks the United States. I really don't see why time was wasted on a vote. Were they expecting the US to vote against itself? I fail to see how isolating the US on this issue will help anybody. If anything, it may make it harder for President Trump to change his mind.
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States was further isolated on Monday over President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital when it blocked a United Nations Security Council call for the declaration to be withdrawn.
