The UN Security Council will hold a meeting because of the US recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
Совет Безопасности Организации Объединенных Наций планирует провести заседание по поводу решения президента США Дональда Трампа признать Иерусалим столицей Израиля, пишет «Voice of America«.
According to diplomats, France, Bolivia, Egypt, Italy, Senegal, Sweden, the United Kingdom and Uruguay appealed to the UN Secretary-General António Guterresch with such a request.
It is assumed that the meeting will be held on Friday.
On Wednesday, Donald Trump suddenly canceled a ten-year US policy, causing outrage among the Palestinians and ignoring the possibility of an escalation of the situation in the Middle East. Trump also plans to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Recall that earlier US President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and also ordered the American embassy to be moved to this city.
Статус Иерусалима — одна из ключевых проблем в палестино-израильском конфликте. Израильтяне заняли его восточные кварталы в ходе войны 1967 года. Они настаивают на том, что Иерусалим является их «единой и неделимой» столицей. Палестинцы же хотят сделать восточную часть города столицей своего государства.
