(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Dec 22 (KUNA) -- Arab League Secretary General Ahmad Abul Gheit welcomed the majority of votes at the UN's General Assembly against the US decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The vote represents the international community's support to Palestine's rights in terms of the international law, said Abul Gheit in a press statement late Thursday.

He noted that the League will hold meetings to discuss means of safeguarding the international vote against President Donald Trump's decision.
