The cartoon shows an image of the UN headquarters in New York, which is labeled “UN,” slapping US President Donald Trump while saying “Jerusalem is the capital of Palestine!” All of the flags in front of the UN building are Palestinian flags. The cartoon refers to a UN vote on Dec. 21, 2017 rejecting Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel - On Dec. 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and instructed the State Department to begin preparations to transfer the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump added that the final borders of Jerusalem will be determined during negotiations.
