The United Nations will meet on Thursday to vote on a motion rejecting President Donald Trump’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
All 193 member states were summoned to a rare emergency special session of the General Assembly, which is taking place at Turkey and Yemen’s request.
The meeting in New York, scheduled to start at 3pm UK time, was attacked by Mr Trump and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“The State of Israel totally rejects this vote, even before [the motion’s] approval,” Mr Netanyahu said in a speech on Wednesday.
