The vote took place at a rare Assembly emergency session, convened Thursday at the request of Arab and Muslim nations.

Palestinian Presidential spokesperson Abu Rdainah said the vote result was a victory for Palestine. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel rejects the UN resolution and is pleased that a number of nations had the same opinion. Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan applauded the resolution and asked President Donald Trump to withdraw its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
