Palestinian Envoy: U.N. Jerusalem Vote 'Massive Setback' for U.S.
The Palestinians' U.N. envoy on Thursday described as a "massive setback" for the United States a U.N. vote in favor of a motion rejecting Washington's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"One hundred twenty-eight versus nine -- that's a massive setback for the United States of America," Ambassador Riyad Mansour told AFP, commenting on the result of the vote at the General Assembly.
