France, UK urge UN members to reject shift in US policy on Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United Kingdom and France express support for an Egyptian-drafted Security Council resolution rejecting US President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
French envoy Francois Delattre says Jerusalem is the “key to peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” and says change in US policy “brings us back to a century ago.”
British envoy Matthew Rycroft hails US efforts to broker regional peace, but says the status of Jerusalem must be determined in peace talks.
“US will continue to play an extremely important role in finding peace between Israelis and Palestinians,” he says.
