Netanyahu says UN is ‘house of lies’ ahead of Jerusalem vote

Israel’s prime minister described the UN as a “house of lies” ahead of a vote on Thursday on a draft resolution calling on the US to withdraw its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “The State of Israel totally rejects this vote, even before [the resolution’s] approval,” Benjamin Netanyahu said in public remarks. “Jerusalem is our capital and we will continue to build there, and foreign embassies, led by the US, will move to Jerusalem. It will happen,” Reuters quoted him as saying.
