    (Communicated by the Prime Minister's Media Adviser) 

    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."
