The UN Security Council is considering a draft resolution affirming that any change to the status of Beit-ul-Moqaddas has no legal effect and must be reversed, in response to the US decision to recognize the city as Israel’s capital.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tEgypt circulated the draft text, and diplomats said the council could vote on the proposed measure as early as Monday, AFP reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tBreaking with the international consensus, US President Donald Trump this month announced that he would recognize Beit-ul-Moqaddas as Israel’s capital and move the US embassy there from Tel Aviv, sparking protests and strong condemnation.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe draft resolution stresses that Beit-ul-Moqaddas is an issue “to be resolved through negotiations” and expresses “deep regret at recent decisions concerning the status of Jerusalem (Beit-ul-Moqaddas),” without specifically mentioning Trump’s move.<\/p>\n

\n\t“Any decisions and actions which purport to have altered the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem (Beit-ul-Moqaddas) have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded,” it said.<\/p>\n

\n\tDiplomats said they expected the United States to use its veto power to block the measure while most, if not all, of the 14 other council members were expected to back the draft resolution.<\/p>\n

\n\tIsrael illegally occupied and seized control of the eastern part of the city in the 1967 Middle East war and sees the whole of Beit-ul-Moqaddas as its undivided capital. The Palestinians view the east as the capital of their future state.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe draft resolution calls on all countries to refrain from opening embassies in Beit-ul-Moqaddas, reflecting concerns that other governments could follow the US lead.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt demands that all member-states not to recognize any actions that are contrary to UN resolutions on the status of the city.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeveral UN resolutions call on Israel to withdraw from territory seized during the 1967 war and have reaffirmed the need to end the occupation of that land.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Palestinians had sought a toughly-worded draft resolution that would have directly called on the US administration to scrap its decision.<\/p>\n

\n\tBut some US allies on the council such as Britain, France, Egypt, Japan and Ukraine were reluctant to be too hard-hitting and insisted that the proposed measure should reaffirm the position enshrined in current resolutions, diplomats said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBacked by Muslim countries, the Palestinians are expected to turn to the UN General Assembly to adopt a resolution rejecting the US decision, if, as expected, the measure is vetoed by the United States at the council.<\/p>\n

\n\tAside from the United States, Britain, China, France and Russia that enjoy veto power, any resolution presented at the council requires nine votes for adoption.<\/p>\n
