The U.S. decisions on Jerusalem have been met by regional and international backlash.
On Dec. 21, two weeks after U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution affirming that any decisions and actions to alter the character, status or demographic composition of Jerusalem are "null and void" and "have no legal effect."
Israel occupied Jerusalem in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and declared it as its eternal capital in 1980.
The UN Security Council Resolution 242 in 1967 demands Israeli withdrawal from the territories occupied in 1967 including Jerusalem, while Resolution 478 in 1980 rejects Israel's attempted annexation of Jerusalem and its declaration of the city as its capital.
Israel is also blamed for disrupting the Middle East peace process by expanding settlements on Palestinian occupied territories.
