WATCH: Netanyahu rejects UN ‘theater of the absurd’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects Thursday’s UN resolution against the US recognition of Israel’s capital city, Jerusalem, but he appreciates a growing number of countries that refused to participate in this “theater of the absurd.”

Israel completely rejects this preposterous resolution. Jerusalem is our capital. Always was, always will be.But I do appreciate the fact that a growing number of countries refused to participate in this theater of the absurd. So I appreciate that, and especially I want to again express our thanks to President Trump and Ambassador Haley, for their stalwart defense of Israel and their stalwart defense of the truth.
