PA blasts Israel for opposing Jerusalem consulate

The Palestinian Authority (PA) on Sunday slammed Israel for rejecting the promised reopening of the US consulate in Jerusalem.

“East Jerusalem is an inseparable part of the occupied Palestinian territory and is the capital of the state of Palestine. Israel, as the occupying power, does not have the right to veto the US administration’s decision,” said a statement from the PA “foreign ministry” quoted on TRT World.
