Ramachandra Guha @Ram_Guha The countries that support President Trump on Jerusalem are Honduras, Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru, Palau, Togo and Israel itself. And the Modi toadies wanted India to join this list.


India on Thursday joined 127 other countries to vote in the United Nations General Assembly in favour of a resolution opposing the recent decision of United States President Donald Trump to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.


Nine countries voted against the resolution, while as many as 35 countries abstained.


India's decision to vote against American recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital comes a day after Trump warned countries against opposing the US position.
