Haley ’Will Be Taking Names’ during UN Vote on Al-Quds!
Local Editor
US President Donald Trump's puppet to the UN, Ambassador Nikki Haley, warned on Tuesday countries that she will report back to her master with the names of those who support a draft resolution rejecting the US decision to recognize al-Quds as ‘Israel's' so-called ‘capital'.
The UN General Assembly will hold an emergency session Thursday to vote on the proposed measure that the United States vetoed at the Security Council.
"The president will be watching this vote carefully and has requested I report back on those countries who voted against us," said the letter from Haley seen by AFP.
"We will take note of each and every vote on this issue," she wrote to several UN ambassadors.
On her Twitter account, Haley posted a tweet that "the US will be taking names" during the vote on Thursday at the 193-nation assembly.
Turkey and Yemen requested the urgent meeting on behalf of the Arab group of countries and the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation [OIC].
The two countries circulated a draft resolution on Tuesday that mirrors the vetoed measure, reaffirming that any decision on the status of al-Quds has no legal effect and must be rescinded.
Egypt had put forward the draft at the council which was backed by all 14 other Security Council members in the vote on Monday.
Like the Egyptian draft, the text before the assembly does not mention Trump's decision but expresses "deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of al-Quds."
