IT is sad and disappointing to read reports that Nikki Haley, the United States ambassador to United Nations, will report to President Donald Trump the names of countries who support a draft resolution rejecting the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital at the United Nations General Assembly.
She described the 14-1 vote against the US at the Security Council as an insult and something that will not be forgotten.
The US is supposed to be the most democratic country in the world and practises freedom of speech and expression.
Threatening countries that voted against the US is tantamount to the US bullying weaker countries into submission.
Even allies like Great Britain, France and Germany are against the decision to recognise Jeru-salem as Israel’s capital.
Therefore, we hope the US will uphold democracy and respect the views of the majority of the countries and abort the decision to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
