UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 193-member United Nations General Assembly will hold a rare emergency special session on Thursday at the request of Arab and Muslim states on U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, sparking a warning from Washington that it will “take names.”

Wow, invoking UNGA 377, I am not sure how many times that has been used in the past. This is certainly not the first time though.

It is ironic that it was the US that pushed for the resolution to counter Soviet vetos.

Gooses and ganders I guess.

A UN resolution calling on us to change our mind in recognizing fact? How disconcerting!
