Arab ministers endorse resolution on Jerusalem

Jordan’s foreign minister says Arab foreign ministers unanimously endorsed more than a dozen policy resolutions, including one rejecting unilateral steps that “jeopardize the historic and legal status” of Jerusalem.

This was an apparent reference to President Donald Trump’s previously stated intentions to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.

The Jordanian minister, Ayman Safadi, says Monday that the resolution is one of “about 17” to be adopted later this week at a gathering of Arab heads of states in Jordan.

He says the ministers also reaffirmed the need to establish a state of Palestine alongside Israel.
