    I appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd, and especially I want to express our thanks to President Trump and Ambassador Haley for their stalwart defense of Israel and the truth.

    Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu today (Thursday, 21 December 2017), responded as follows to the UN General Assembly vote:

    "Israel completely rejects this preposterous resolution. Jerusalem is our capital. Always was, always will be.

    But I do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd. So I appreciate that, and especially I want to again express our thanks to President Trump and Ambassador Haley, for their stalwart defense of Israel and their stalwart defense of the truth."
