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 said during a cabinet meeting at the White House.The president contended that American officials don t even know what foreign countries do with the money the US sends them.  NYPToday, the Independent UK reported that the UN General Assembly voted 128-9 to declare US President Donald Trump s declaration of Jerusalem as Israel s capital  null and void .The vote, while a victory for the Palestinians, was significantly lower than its supporters had hoped for, with many forecasting at least 150  yes  votes. There were a total of 35, while 21 nations did not turn up for the vote.Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas welcomed the result, his spokesman saying:  The vote is a victory for Palestine. We will continue our efforts in the United Nations and at all international forums to put an end to this occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital. UN Ambassador Nikki Haley tweeted the vote tally, saying  68 countries refused to condemn the United States and 128 voted against us. There were 35 abstentionsThe vote is in  65 countries refused to condemn the United States and 128 voted against us. Final vote tally to follow.  Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 21, 2017Haley also tweeted a message to thank the nations who stood behind President Trump. Her message included a list of those nations who stood by President Trump and his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel:We appreciate these countries for not falling to the irresponsible ways of the @UN: pic.twitter.com/a0hUTepD8H  Nikki Haley (@nikkihaley) December 21, 2017Here s a close up look at the list:Ambassador Haley also made clear the decision of the U.S. to move forward with its plans to move the embassy to Jerusalem:Ms Haley said  no vote in the United Nations will make any difference  on the U.S. decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem, which will go ahead because  it is the right thing to do. She said  the United States will remember this day in which it was singled out for attack in the General Assembly for the very right of exercising our right as a sovereign nation. We will remember it when we are called upon once again to make the world s largest contribution to the United Nations,  she says.  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. Ms Haley said the vote  will make a difference on how Americans look at the UN and on how we look at countries who disrespect us in the UN, and this vote will be remembered. Israel s prime minister says he completely rejects the  preposterous  UN resolution declaring the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel s capital as  null and void. Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video posted to Facebook that Jerusalem  always was, always will be  Israel s capital. He also says he appreciates that  a growing number of countries refuse to participate in this theatre of the absurd. Mr. Netanyahu also thanked President Donald Trump for his  stalwart defense of Israel.
