Iran votes to declare Jerusalem ‘everlasting’ capital of Palestine
Iran’s parliament has voted to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine, according to state-run media.
The vote, which passed 207-0 in the 290-member Majlis, requires Tehran to recognize Jerusalem as “the everlasting capital of Palestine.”
The vote “comes in response to the recent US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in hopes of dealing a blow to Muslims,” the Turkish Anadolu news agency quotes speaker Ali Larijani saying.
