UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- The General Assembly on Thursday adopted a resolution on the status of Jerusalem that will make U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital have no legal effect.


In a rare emergency special session, the draft resolution tabled by Turkey and Yemen was adopted 128-9 with 35 abstentions.


The nine countries that voted against the text were Guatemala, Honduras Adidas Deerupt Runner España , Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau Adidas Hender Scheme España , Togo, as well as the United States and Israel.


The resolution "affirms that any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council Adidas Spezial España , and in this regard calls upon all states to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem."


It further demands that all UN member states comply with Security Council resolutions regarding Jerusalem, and not recognize any actions or measures contrary to those resolutions.


Such a vote at the General Assembly is non-binding but a resounding "yes" reflects the collective will of the international community and carries much political weight.


Before the vote, U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley repeated the threat to cut aid for the countries that would have voted in favor of the draft as well as U.S. contributions to the United Nations.


She said her country will move its Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. "No vote in the United Nations will make any difference on that."


However, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu showed defiance to U.S. pressure.


"We will not be intimidated. You can be strong Adidas Futurecraft 4D España , but that does't make you right!" Cavusoglu told the emergency special session in clear reference to U.S. threats.


"Before this meeting, a UN member state threatened all the other members. We were all asked to vote 'no' or face consequences. Some were even threatened with development aid cut," said Cavusoglu.


"Such an attitude is unacceptable. This is bullying and this chamber will not bow to that. It is unethical to think that the worth and dignity of member states are for sale," said the foreign minister.


Thursday's General Assembly emergency session was called after the United States vetoed a draft resolution on the status of Jerusalem at the Security Council on Monday. All other 14 members of the council voted in favor.


The Security Council vote was prompted by Trump's Dec. 6 announcement to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital and to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.


Under a 1950 resolution Adidas Prophere España , a General Assembly emergency special session can be called for all UN member states to consider a matter "with a view to making appropriate recommendations" for collective measures in case the Security Council fails to act.


Thursday's emergency special session was only the 10th of its kind in UN history. The last such meeting was held in 2009.

At least 12 people were killed Wednesday when a massive fire tore through a London apartment block in the middle of the night, with witnesses reporting terrified people had leapt from the 24-story tower.


Parents wrapped wet towels around their children as they desperately tried to escape from the Grenfell Tower, with at least one person seen waving a piece of white cloth from an upper floor as flames ravaged the building.


"I can confirm six fatalities at this time but this figure is likely to rise during what will be a complex recovery operation over a number of days Adidas Dragon Ball Z España ," said police commander Stuart Cundy, describing the fire as "truly shocking."


The ambulance service said 50 people had been hospitalized.


The alarm was raised just before 1:00 am and within an hour flames had engulfed the entire block.


Residents claimed the fire was spreading on the exterior of the tower, which had been covered in cladding in a major refurbishment completed last year.


More than 10 hours on, flames could still be seen inside the charred building as thick Adidas Dame 4 España , black smoke filled the sky.


London Mayor Sadiq Khan said firefighters were only able to reach the 12th floor at the height of the blaze.


"A lot of people are unaccounted for," he told Sky News television.


The tower block blaze also delayed British Prime Minister Theresa May's power deal with Northern Ireland in forming her new government.


The Conservative leader lost her parliamentary majority in last week's election and is now desperately seeking the backing of the 10 MPs from Northern Ireland's ultra-conservative Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).


EU leaders have voiced growing impatience to start Brexit negotiations, which have already been delayed by the parliamentary election - and on which the clock is ticking.


An initial round of talks between May and DUP leader Arlene Foster ended with no agreement on Tuesday, although both sides said they were hopeful of a deal.


"The talks are continuing but I think the events in London today probably will have some impact on that. I think it's unlikely there will be any announcement today Adidas Ultra Boost 4.0 España ," a DUP spokesman told AFP.
