Women’s organisations condemn US decision on Jerusalem

AMMAN — The Women’s Organisations in Jordan on Tuesday condemned US President Donald Trump’s announcement to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to relocate US embassy to the holy city. The organisations expressed their “categorical rejection of this aggressive decision”, a statement from the Jordanian Women’s Movement (JWM) said.

“The resolution affects the reality and the future of the Palestinian cause and stands in the way of the Palestinian people’s right,” the statement said, adding that “such a dangerous decision, which stands in the face of the international community and turns its back on the resolutions of international legitimacy, will exacerbate the divisions and tensions throughout the world based on racism, especially in the occupied Palestinian territory.” The JWM reiterated its stance with the Palestinian cause and its support to the Palestinians struggle, calling for the US to “return from this unjust aggressive decision”.
