THE UN Security Council opened an emergency meeting Friday on US President Donald Trump’s landmark decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

The decision, breaking with decades of US policy, triggered concern and general disapproval by US allies.

Asked what he expected to come from the UN meeting, one diplomat said: “Nothing.” Another said the session would show US “isolation” on the issue. – AFP
