Hundreds protest in Pakistan against US Jerusalem move
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleHundreds of Islamists are rallying in major cities across Pakistan, condemning US President Donald Trump for declaring the city of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
The demonstrators dispersed peacefully after rallies in the capital, Islamabad. Similar anti-US rallies were also being held in Karachi, the country’s largest city, and in Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province bordering Afghanistan, as well as in the city of Multan in Punjab province.
Islamabad has asked the United States to reconsider any move that alters the legal and historical status of Jerusalem.
Muslim-majority Pakistan has already reiterated its support for the Palestinians, who claim East Jerusalem as the capital of their hoped-for state.
