From Palestinians at UN push for resolution on Jerusalem
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePalestinian diplomats want the UN Security Council to vote on a draft resolution rejecting US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, even though the measure would almost certainly face a US veto, diplomats say Wednesday.
Palestinian Ambassador Riyad Mansour tells AFP that the text would demand that the United States scrap the decision on Jerusalem, but other diplomats suggest the wording would not be so strong.
Egypt is expected to circulate a draft resolution to council members, possibly as early as this week, according to senior council diplomats.
Mansour said late Tuesday that he was working on a draft text that would “reaffirm the positions of the Security Council and ask the Americans to rescind.”
