Egypt’s Coptic Pope rejects Pence meeting over Jerusalem

Egypt’s Coptic Church head Pope Tawadros II canceled a meeting with US Vice President Mike Pence in Cairo set for later this month in protest at Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, the church said Saturday.

US President Donald Trump’s decision “did not take into account the feelings of millions of Arab people,” the church said in a statement, adding it decided not to receive Pence when he visits Egypt.

Looks like that list trump was making of countries that signed on to let him know his embassy move was dumb as shit and stupid is much more substantial than he thought at 128. Turns out when the world thinks you are an idiot they don’t listen to what you have to say.
 
Jerusalem: UN resolution rejects Trump's declaration

The UN General Assembly has decisively backed a resolution effectively calling on the US to withdraw its recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The text says that any decisions regarding the status of the city are "null and void" and must be cancelled.

The non-binding resolution was approved by 128 states, with 35 abstaining and nine others voting against.

It came after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut financial aid to those who backed the resolution.

Before the vote, the Palestinian foreign minister urged member states to reject "blackmail and intimidation".

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, said it would reject the anticipated result "outright" and dismissed the UN as a "house of lies".

How did UN members vote?

-The nine who voted against the resolution were the US, Israel, Guatemala, Honduras, the Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau and Togo

-Among the 35 abstaining were Canada and Mexico

-Those voting in favour included the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council (China, France, Russia and the UK) as well as key US allies in the Muslim world

-There were 21 countries who did not turn up for the vote.
