Thousands of demonstrators have rallied in two major cities across Pakistan, denouncing US President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel\u2019s \u201ccapital.\u201d<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tThe massive rallies were organized by supporters of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party in the southern port city of Karachi and advocates of Jamat-ud-Dawa chief Hafiz Saeed and leaders of Difa-e-Pakistan Council in the eastern city of Lahore on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe angry protesters who carried Palestinian flags and chanted anti-US slogans called on Washington to retract the controversial decision.<\/p>\n

\n\tSirajul Haq, the chief of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) called on all Muslim nations to suspend diplomatic ties with the US until it reconsiders its Jerusalem decision.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0Addressing the rally in Lahore, Saeed said that the world Muslims should put aside any differences and unite around the cause of “liberating” Jerusalem al-Quds.<\/p>\n

\n\tProtests have continued in Pakistan since Trump’s controversial announcement angered Muslims across the world.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn recent days, various religious and political groups held anti-Trump protests across Pakistan . The main protest was held last Sunday near the US Consulate in Karachi where the religious activists burnt the US and Israeli flags and chanted slogans.<\/p>\n

\n\tTrump announced that his administration would recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel\u2019s \u201ccapital\u201d and relocate the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds on December 6. That announcement was only welcomed by Israel. Saudi Arabia\u2019s response was also conspicuously muted.<\/p>\n

\n\tDemonstrations were held in protest in the occupied Palestinian territories, Iran, Turkey, Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Algeria, Iraq, Morocco,\u00a0and other Muslim countries.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) convened an emergency meeting to call on all Muslim nations to respond by\u00a0pressing the world for the recognition of East Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of a Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael annexed East Jerusalem al-Quds after it occupied the Palestinian territories of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Syrian Golan Heights during the Six-Day War of 1967. That annexation has never been recognized by the international community.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
