Ministers condemn US Jerusalem move
[]
ChinaDaily > world
Algerian people protest against US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in Algiers on Friday.
In a resolution long on rhetoric but short on concrete actions, the ministers also called for the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution condemning Trump's decision, but acknowledged that Washington would most likely veto it.
The resolution said the ministers would meet again within a month and held out the possibility that an emergency Arab summit would be held in Jordan to discuss Jerusalem.
Trump's decision, according to the Arab resolution, was "illegal" and a "dangerous violation" of international law.
Israel occupied and later annexed the eastern part of Jerusalem in the 1967 Middle East war, declaring the holy city its eternal capital.
