Israel said it believes its longtime ally the United States will veto a United Nations Security Council on Monday that would call on U.S. President Donald Trump to withdraw his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The one-page, Egyptian-drafted text expresses “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem,” though it does not specifically mention the United States or Trump.
