Netanyahu Rejects Jerusalem Vote, Dubs UN “House Of Lies”

BySwarajya Staff

Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu dubbed the United Nations a "house of lies" today (21 December) ahead of a General Assembly vote on a resolution rejecting US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

"The State of Israel rejects outright this vote, even before it passes," he said at a ceremony in southern Israel.

"The attitude to Israel of many nations in the world, in all the continents, is changing outside of the UN walls, and will eventually filter into the UN as well -- the house of lies," he said. PTI
