UNSC to discuss resolution on Jerusalem

Monitoring Desk

WASHINGTON: The United Nations Security Council will discuss on Monday a draft resolution opposing unilateral change in the status of Jerusalem, Turkish foreign ministry sources said Sunday.

The latest U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is against the related resolutions of UN and thus is invalid, the draft resolution says.

According to Turkish foreign ministry sources, the draft resolution was proposed by Palestine and will reportedly be submitted to the council by Egypt. The draft resolution will call on countries to not to move their embassies to Jerusalem.

It is unlikely that any resolution would pass.
