Palestine UN ambassador: Israel's attempts to change Jerusalem status should be annulled
The UN General Assembly plans to endorse five resolutions over the Palestinian issue at a plenary meeting on Tuesday
THE UNITED NATIONS, November 25. /TASS/. The State of Palestine urged the UN General Assembly to get Israel to annul all measures to change the status of Jerusalem which under international accords should be a capital of two states. All Israeli measures, including the extension of the so-called ‘basic law’ should be cancelled immediately, Palestinian permanent observer at the UN Riyad Mansour said.
‘The basic law’ which Israel’s unicameral national legislature Knesset adopted in 1980 proclaims united Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon dwelt on the current situation in Palestinian-Israeli settlement on Monday. He urged both conflicting parties to show moderateness and to give up violence and provocative acts.
