Jordan's foreign minister says Arab foreign ministers unanimously endorse more than a dozen policy resolutions
Jordan's foreign minister says Arab foreign ministers unanimously endorsed more than a dozen policy resolutions, including one rejecting unilateral steps that "jeopardize the historic and legal status" of Jerusalem.
This was an apparent reference to President Donald Trump's previously stated intentions to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, the city at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Palestinians seek a capital in east Jerusalem along with the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Jordanian minister, Ayman Safadi, said Monday that the resolution is one of "about 17" to be adopted later this week at a gathering of Arab heads of states in Jordan.
He says the ministers also reaffirmed the need to establish a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
