The United Nations voted overwhelmingly to condemn President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel despite threats from the US to pull funding from the world body.
Some 128 countries voted for the resolution, while nine voted "no," and 35 nations abstained, including Canada and Australia.
The vote came after US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley issued a direct threat to the UN saying that the US will think twice about funding the world body if it voted to condemn Trump's decision.
