UN Resolution on Jerusalem leaves US and Israel Isolated: How each country voted

In a move that left the United States and Israel completely isolated, members states of the United Nations voted by a huge majority to declare a unilateral US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void”.

At an emergency session of the body’s General Assembly on Thursday, 128 countries voted in favour of a resolution rejecting US President Donald Trump’s controversial decision on December 6.
