Bolivia seeks emergency Security Council talks on Jerusalem

Bolivia says it will seek an emergency open-door meeting of the UN Security Council if US President Donald Trump moves forward with plans to transfer the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

“If this decision is taken, it’s a threat not just to the peace process, but also it’s a threat to international peace and security,” says envoy Sacha Soliz of Bolivia, which holds a two-year term as a non-permanent member of the council.

“It would be a reckless and a dangerous decision which goes against international law, the resolutions of the Security Council.”
