UN General Assembly

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has said he will not accept any US plan for peace with Israel, after it recognised Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The US ambassador to the UN has warned member states that Donald Trump will take a vote on his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “personally,” and she will report back to him on nay-sayers at the UN General Assembly.

Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari has blamed an "overzealous" staff member for plagiarising parts of a speech by Barack Obama.
