The Latest: Israel's PM blasts UN as 'house of lies'
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Latest on the U.N. vote on Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and related developments (all times local):
5:45 a.m.
Israel's prime minister is blasting the United Nations as a "house of lies" ahead of a vote to reject President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.
Acknowledging that the resolution will likely pass by a wide margin, Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that Israel "completely rejects this vote before it is made."
Trump's declaration on Dec. 6 departed from decades of U.S. policy, and international consensus, that the fate of Jerusalem should be decided through negotiations.
