United States President Donal Trump has threatened to withdraw aid from any country that on Thursday votes against his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israeli's capital city.
Speaking at the White House on Wednesday, Trump said the US would be “watching those votes” at the General Assembly.
“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 was quoted by an International News Agency.
The United Nations General Assembly will hold an emergency sitting on Thursday to vote on the controversial US decision on Jerusalem.
Trump’s warning comes after Nikki Haley, who is the US ambassador to the UN, sent letters to UN member states, asking them to rally against the motion.
She said: "Referencing tomorrow's UN vote criticizing the US embassy move. In the words of the President, "Let them vote against us, we'll save a lot."
Haley also said on Twitter “the US will be taking names” of countries that vote in favour of the resolution.
Palestinian Foreign Minister, Riyad al-Malki on Wednesday accused the US of intimidating member countries of the UN General Assembly in advance of the vote. Malki noted that US officials were “committing another mistake when they have distributed this famous letter trying to threaten countries, [and] threaten their sovereign decision to choose how to vote” adding that the UN session would show “how many countries will opt to vote with their conscience”.

Religion is not politics.Trump needs to stick to the USA as he cannot and will not be allowed to force his beliefs on other nations especially Arabs who also have a right to East Jérusalem. He is alone on this and should he proceed to build an embassy in Jérusalem other nations have clearly stated they will not follow suit.He is playing with fire and may have bitten more than he can chew.People are ready and willling to die for their religion. Tourists have stayed away from Jérusalem this year and all communities that reside in Jérusalem are suffering .This guy is no peace maker.
Something Biblical being fulfilled here and God seems to be using Trump on this one. Battle lines being drawn even in the spirit realm. Jerusalem will be a trigger point for end time events. It is not about who does not like what but what does God say about Jerusalem. Watch that space
Nguzo ya imani ya Biblia na Koran ni ushirikina. Hatuwezi kuishi maisha ya kisasa huku tukitumia fikira na mawazo ya watu ambao msingi wao ni ushirikina.
Kutokana na uongozi wa kimabavu unaoonyeshwa dhahiri na Kaka Donald ambaye sasa ni kiongozi wa nchi ya Marekani, yafaa makao makuu ya Umoja wa Mataifa yahamishwe kutoka mji wa New York mara moja.
What was Kenyas position on this or is it busy leaking Israel butt crack as usual for crumbs.
@ Muigi, wakati ulipofika wa kupiga kura kwenye umoja wa mataifa,nchi ya Kenya ilikunja mkia.
Nothing biblical being fulfilled here; some evangelical folks who believe in the apocalypse are impatient and want to see the end of times happen sooner as predicted in the book of revelation. They are too impatient and want to desperately find out what lies on the other side of the abyss, as soon as they depart this world. But endless nothingness awaits them...
Kaka Donald:
Nakuomba na pia nakusihi usidhubutu kuwatisha binadamu wengine kama msimamo wako kwa jambo fulani unatofautiana na wako.Je, ukiamua kuwatupia makombora ya nuklia ndugu zetu wa Korea ya Kaskazini, je, utawalazimisha raia wengine wa sayari hii tuishimo wakuunge mkono mkono?
Sera zako na pia msimamo wako wa uongozi utatofautiana sana na misimamo mingine yote ya marais wote waliokutangulia hapo awali! Nakuomba uwaheshimu viongozi wengine hata ikiwa wana msimamo tofauti na wako.
Kaka Donald, ningependa kukukumbusha ya kwamba wakati Waingereza walipokuwa wakiitawala karibu dunia nzima, waliwapa Wayahudi nchi ya Kenya mnamo mwaka wa 1902. Wayahudi walikuja Kenya lakini hawakuipenda nchi yetu. Kama wangalikubali kuhamia Kenya, Wakenya wangekuwa wakiumia na kuteswa kama vile Wapalestina wanavyoumia kutokana na mateso wanayopata kila siku kutoka kwa serikali inayotawala Israel sasa.
Mimi simwungi mkono mtu yeyote anayemtumia MWUMBAJI ili ajipatie riziki yake kwa raha zake mwenyewe. Ndugu zetu Wayahaudi wameidanganya dunia nzima kwa kusema ya kwamba, wao ndio walioteuliwa na MWUMBAJI kama watoto wake! MWUMBAJI si mbaguzi. Sisi sote ni watoto wa MWUMBAJI!
Kwa kumalizia, ningependa kukuambia Kaka Donald, ukitaka kumsaidia mtu au nchi fulani, nakuomba usitoe masharti fulani, yaani usipo__________, nita________! Huu ni unafiki si urafiki wala usaidizi wowote.
