The UN security Council held on Friday, December 8, an emergency meeting devoted to U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. All 14 member States have distanced themselves from unilateral decisions trump and subjected him to criticism.

This decision, according to representatives of the European countries at the UN, “is not consistent with the UN resolutions” and “does nothing to help peace in the region.”
The U.S. permanent representative to the UN, Nikki Haley assured that the United States recognized Jerusalem as the capital “in the name of peace”. “I understand the concerns of members, saswauli this meeting. All the changes are hard, but we must never forget what can be achieved the truth,” she said.
