Haley: No UN vote will change US decision to move embassy to Jerusalem

A majority vote is awaited later Thursday for the motion before the UN General Assembly emergency session condemning President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Up until the last moment, Israel’s UN ambassador Danny Danon lobbied members to vote against or at least abstain from voting to reduce the majority. He stressed that Israel was there to stay in Jerusalem whatever the outcome. US Ambassador Nikki Haley, in a fighting speech, told the session: “No vote in the United Nations will make any difference” to the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem, which will go ahead because “it is the right thing to do.” She stressed “and we will remember when so many countries come calling on us, as they so often do, to pay even more and to use our influence for their benefit….and then “disrespect us in the UN.”

    Move the UN out of The US….Send them to The Caliphate of Europe. We built France, Germany, UK, The Netherlands up after WW2….and this is the thanks we get? Where’s the loyalty, the friendship, the justice?
    I have to say, Nikki Haley has more brains and balls than most of the UN Diplomats put together.
    As for President Trump…..For me, his name is President Triumph! He is a winner!

      what a great comment. I am so in love with Nicky. She is so strong, and I love how she supports israel and jerusalem. The United Nothing needs to be defunded and moved to Babylon. God bless Trump, the United States, and Israel.

    Ambassador Haley is 100% correct. The UN GA vote changes nothing. The Embassy of the United States of America is going to Jerusalem just as surely as the 3rd Temple will soon stand on the Mount and be a blessing to all nations.

    The best response to the UN bunch of anti-Semites and hypocrites is to move the US embassy to Jerusalem IMMEDIATELY!
