Gaza City – The Islamic militant group Hamas is welcoming a U.N. General Assembly resolution calling the U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.”

In a statement, spokesman Fawzi Barhoum calls the resolution “a step in the right direction” and “a blow to (President Donald) Trump’s announcement.” He says the resolution emphasizes “the Palestinian right to the holy city.”
Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, seeks a state in all of historic Palestine, including what is now Israel. The Western-backed Palestinian Authority, under President Mahmoud Abbas, claims Gaza and the West Bank as part of a future Palestinian state, with east Jerusalem as capital.
Israel views Jerusalem as its undivided capital.
The General Assembly voted 128-9 with 35 abstentions in favor of the non-binding resolution.
Just goes to show… The leftists who made campaign promises to move the embassy and then attacked Trump for actually doing it, the anti-Semitic countries in the UN who obsess over Israel, and the self-hating Jewish commentators on VIN who attacked the move are all in lockstep with Hamas and the IslamoNazis.
When was the last time the UN was relevant? 1940’s?
