RAMALLAH, December 21, 2017 (WAFA) – Palestinians expect a sweeping vote when the United Nations General Assembly discusses a resolution on Jerusalem later Thursday in spite of US threats.

The United Nations General Assembly is scheduled to hold a session under the “United for Peace” term to vote on a resolution calling for the annulment of a US decision recognizing Jerusalem as capital of Israel.

The United States vetoed on Monday a similar resolution brought before the UN Security Council.
