(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) Amman, Dec.10 (Petra)-- North Korea lambasted US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and move the US embassy to it, according to the KCNA news agency.
A foreign ministry spokesman was quoted as saying by the state-run KCNA news agency "the decision by US President Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the US embassy there well deserves a global condemnation and rejection as it is an open defiance of and an insult to the international legitimacy and to a unanimous will of the international community." "The status of Jerusalem remains so sensitive that it, for sure, should be solved fairly by means of regaining the national rights of the Palestinian people and striking a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Middle East problem," he added.
The official stressed that the U.S. should bear full responsibility for all the consequences of tension and instability that will be entailed in the Middle East region owing to its reckless and highhanded act.
He confirmed that North Korea "express our firm support and solidarity with the Palestinians and other Arabian people in their just cause to regain their legitimate rights." WH
