128 countries, including Oman, call on Trump to reverse Jerusalem decision

Muscat: Oman joined 128 other countries to vote in favour of a resolution calling on the US to reverse its decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
The voting took place during a rare UN General Assembly (UNGA) emergency session, convened on Thursday at the request of Arab and Muslim nations.
While 128 countries backed the motion, nine states voted against the UN resolution and 35 nations abstained.
In an official tweet, Oman's UN Mission revealed that Oman took part in the UNGA emergency session to vote on the resolution of Al Quds (Jerusalem), represented by Khalifa bin Ali Issa Al-Harthy, Oman's Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also released a statement on the same.
"128 countries were in favour, the Sultanate was among the countries which co-sponsored the resolution," the tweet read.
The outcome of the UNGA vote was hailed as a "victory" by Palestine.
"We will continue our efforts in the United Nations and at all international forums to put an end to this occupation and to establish our Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital," Abbas' spokesman Nabil Abu Rudainah said.
Turkey's Foreign Minister praised the decision after the vote, saying, it "once again showed that dignity and sovereignty are not for sale."
The voting was preceded by a number of member states outlining their stance on the US decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Turkey, which has led opposition to Washington's Jerusalem declaration, was among the first to speak at the meeting.
US envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, said whatever decision the UNGA takes will not influence Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. She reminded UN member states of the US' generous contributions to the organisation and said that the United States expects its will to be respected in return.
The US leadership earlier issued threats to UN member states which would back the UN resolution against its Jerusalem decision. Haley said Washington would be "taking names".
Trump also suggested that countries which vote in favour of the resolution at the UN General Assembly will lose money.
The US threats were condemned by Turkey, with the country's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stating that Trump "cannot buy Turkey's democratic will".
