The US says it “will be taking names” during a UN General Assembly vote on a resolution criticising its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
According to the BBC, Permanent representative Nikki Haley warned member states that President Donald Trump had asked her to report on “who voted against us” on Thursday.
The draft resolution does not mention the US, but says any decisions on Jerusalem should be cancelled.
On Monday, the US vetoed a similar motion at the UN Security Council.
The status of Jerusalem goes to the heart of Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians.
Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem has never been recognised internationally, and all countries currently maintain their embassies in Tel Aviv. However, President Trump has told the US state department to start work on moving the US embassy.
