Jerusalem as capital: Senate passes resolution against Trump’s decision
ISLAMABAD, (DNA) – On the inaugural day of its new session on Monday, the Senate passed a resolution castigating President Donald Trump’s announcement to accept Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and shift the US embassy there from Tel Aviv.
The house suspended its normal agenda and held a debate in which 33 senators spoke for almost five hours before the resolution condemning Trump’s action was adopted unanimously.
The resolution, moved by Leader of the House in Senate Raja Zafarul Haq, termed the announcement a flagrant violation of the International Law, the UN Security Council Resolutions specially Resolution Nos. 478 (1980) and 2334 (2016) and the international norms.
