Four Pacific nations sided with U.S. and Israel on U.N.'s Jerusalem vote

The seven countries that sided Thursday with the United States and Israel on a U.N. General Assembly resolution declaring “null and void” President Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital are all small and obscure as world players.

The countries include:

1. Guatemala 

2. Honduras

3. Marshall Islands

4. Micronesia

5. Nauru

6. Palau

7. Togo

Most of these nations are tiny islands in the Pacific. 

Four of the countries — Marshall Islands, Micronesia, Nauru and Palau — have combined populations less than Boise, Idaho. Nauru, for example, has a population of 10,000. 

Another 35 nations abstained from the 128-9 vote. Two are the United States closest neighbors, Canada and Mexico. The others are allies across the globe. 

Here's the list:

1. Antigua-Barbuda

2. Argentina

3. Australia

4. Bahamas

5. Benin

6. Bhutan

7. Bosnia-Herzegovina

8. Cameroon

9. Canada

10. Colombia

11. Croatia

12. Czech Republic

13. Dominican Republic

14. Equatorial Guinea

15. Fiji

16. Haiti

17. Hungary

18. Jamaica

19. Kiribati

20. Latvia

21. Lesotho

22. Malawi

23. Mexico

24. Panama

25. Paraguay

26. Philippines

27. Poland

28. Romania

29. Rwanda

30. Solomon Islands

31. South Sudan

32. Trinidad-Tobago
