Speaker Dr. Mishaal bin Fahm Al-Salami said members of the Arab Parliament – representing various groups in Arab society – will issue a resolution to reflect the “pulse of the Arab street”, following this “dangerous” decision by the US administration, news agency WAM said.

He added that the US decision was established based on a “unilateral will to change the current legal status” of the occupied city, defying the framework of international references and relevant UN resolutions.
