Trump had threatened to cut off financial aid to countries that voted in favor. A total of 128 countries backed the resolution, which is non-binding, nine voted against and 35 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not cast a vote. Trump's threat appeared to have some impact, with more countries abstaining and rejecting the resolution than usually associated with Palestinian-related resolutions. A spokesman for Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the vote "a victory for Palestine" but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the vote. Nevertheless, Washington found itself isolated on the world stage as many of its Western and Arab allies voted for the measure. French U.N. Ambassador Francois Delattre said in a ...

I don’t feel it like that [he was dropped] – he was rested.” Jack Wilshere made his first Premier League start of the season for the Gunners in Stratford and when asked if the midfielder will play more in the weeks to come, Wenger said: “I don’t know yet. “I rotate a little bit at the moment. We play four games in basically nine days so I will assess...
