TLDR: UN Security Council session round-up

Two hours later, the international community stands united against America's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital.

Here's a quick breakdown of what went down. We did the listening so you don't have to:

►US ambassador Nikki Haley described the embassy move and recognition as a "common sense move".

►Every country in the UN Security Council session except Israel condemned the move and cited fears it will exacerbate tensions in the Middle East.

►Palestinian ambassador Riyad Mansour called 'Jerusalem the red-line' for his people. 

►Israel held up an "ancient coin" to justify its claim to Jerusalem as the capital.
