US President Donald Trump on Wednesday threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that vote in favor of a draft United Nations resolution calling for the United States to withdraw its decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
“They take hundreds of millions of dollars and even billions of dollars, and then they vote against us. Well, we’re watching those votes. Let them vote against us. We’ll save a lot. We don’t care,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
The 193-member UN General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday – at the request of Arab and Muslim countries – to vote on a draft resolution, which was vetoed by the United States on Monday in the 15-member UN Security Council but the remaining 14 Security Council members voted in favor of the Egyptian-drafted resolution.
U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a letter to dozens of UN states on Tuesday seen by Reuters, warned that Trump had asked her to “report back on those countries who voted against us.”
Israel considers Jerusalem its eternal and indivisible capital and wants all embassies based there.
Palestinians want the capital of an independent Palestinian state to be in Jerusalem’s eastern sector, which Israel captured in a 1967 war and annexed in a move never recognized internationally.
These are Signs of the Last Days Prophecies foretold by Jesus and the Prophets how that Jerusalem would become a central issue for the nations of the world as a cup of trembling over the fate of the city in the Last Days.
