Israel ‘Will Never Be Driven From Jerusalem,’ Envoy Tells UN

Ambassador Danny Danon

Israel’s envoy to the United Nations vowed Thursday that his country would never be “driven” from Jerusalem as UN member states prepared to vote on rejecting Washington’s recognition of the Holy City as its capital.

“No General Assembly resolution will ever drive us from Jerusalem,” Ambassador Danny Danon told an emergency session of the 193-nation assembly.

A draft resolution rejecting the US move was sent to the General Assembly after it was vetoed by the United States at the Security Council on Monday, although all other 14 council members voted in favor.
