Hamas praises UN resolution on Jerusalem
The Islamic terrorist group Hamas welcomes the UN General Assembly resolution calling the US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “null and void.”
In a statement, spokesman Fawzi Barhoum calls the resolution “a step in the right direction” and “a blow to [President Donald] Trump’s announcement.” He says the resolution emphasizes “the Palestinian right to the holy city.”
