The Palestinian resistance movement, Hamas, has blasted Washington for vetoing a UN Security Council resolution aimed at voiding US President Donald Trump\u2019s move on Jerusalem al-Quds, saying the Israeli-occupied city is the \u2018eternal capital\u2019 of the state of Palestine.<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
\n

\n\tEarlier this month, Trump said the US was recognizing Jerusalem al-Quds as the \u2018capital\u2019 of Israel, and said he had tasked the State Department with making preparations for the relocation of the embassy from Tel Aviv to the city, presstv.com reported.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe move has sparked international outrage and pro-Palestinian protests.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe White House used its veto power for the first time at the UN Security council on Monday to torpedo an Egypt-drafted resolution critical of Washington\u2019s unilateral recognition, which had the backing of the other 14 members of the council, several of them the US and Israel\u2019s key allies.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn response, Hamas issued a statement, saying Jerusalem al-Quds is the \u2018eternal capital\u2019 of the state of Palestine, and that such American or Israeli decisions cannot change this fixed reality.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe statement said the resistance movement would use all means at its disposal to prevent Trump\u2019s decision from taking effect.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movement further called on the international community to take action against any measure aimed at changing the status quo of Jerusalem al-Quds.<\/p>\n

\n\tHamas warned that the Tel Aviv regime would pay the price for taking any step against Jerusalem al-Quds and Muslims\u2019 sanctities.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlong with Hamas, officials of the Ramallah-based Fatah movement also censured the US for blocking the resolution.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00a0Palestine calls for emergency UN General Assembly meeting after the US vetoes a UNSC resolution aimed at voiding US President Donald Trump\u2019s move to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as Israel\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Palestinian president\u2019s spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh said in an official statement that the US veto \u201cviolates the legitimate international resolutions and the resolutions of the Security Council. It\u2019s a full bias to the occupation and to the aggression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said the veto \u201cleads to more isolation of the United States and will provoke the international community,\u201d adding \u201cwe will carry on with our moves in the UN and all other international agencies to defend our people\u2019s rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tPalestinian ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour also said the US \u201cmissed an opportunity to rectify its illegal decision from December 6.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said that that Washington remains on the wrong side of history and that the Palestinians \u201creiterate that [Trump\u2019s] decision has no legal effect on the status of Jerusalem.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe US decision encourages Israel to persist in its crimes against the Palestinian people and to continue its occupation of our territory. No rhetoric will hide this complacency in prolonging the occupation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, the Palestinian ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Bassam al-Agha, said President Mahmoud Abbas is scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia Tuesday to discuss the US decision on Jerusalem al-Quds with Saudi King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe trip comes as Riyadh has showed a weak response to Trump\u2019s move.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Saudis refused to send a high-level representative to the emergency summit of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) in Turkey last week that was chaired by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and attended by Abbas and Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a telephone conversation on Monday, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and British Prime Minister Theresa May called on the international community to make \u2018intense efforts\u2019 to solve the issue of Jerusalem al-Quds.<\/p>\n

\n\tAl-Quds remains at the core of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with Palestinians hoping that the eastern part of the city would eventually serve as the capital of a future independent Palestinian state.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrutz Katz, the co-president of Palestinian and Jewish Unity, believes that the UNSC\u2019s meeting on Monday once again revealed that the United States is largely isolated within the Security Council, especially when it comes to its policy towards Israel.<\/p>\n

\n\tBasically, the entire question of moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds has been pushed by extremist elements both within and outside the Trump administration, Katz told PRESSTV.<\/p>\n

\n\tHe said Washington\u2019s move has proved to be counterproductive and \u201ccontrary to the wishes of both Tel Aviv and Riyadh\u201d because it has unified countries on the question of the international status of Jerusalem al-Quds and put the question on the very top of the Islamic agenda.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso talking to Press TV, Joe Lombardo, with the United National Antiwar Coalition, described the outcome of the UNSC\u2019s meeting as a \u2018political defeat\u2019 for President Trump, stressing that the yes votes cast by other members of the council were the result of growing popular pressure in those countries following Trump\u2019s al-Quds decision.<\/p>\n

\n\tLombardo pointed out at the reluctance of former US administrations to act on the highly controversial issue. \u201cThis is really a bipartisan issue and several presidents prior to Trump had also pushed forward this idea. They never acted on it. There is a kind of trigger in the United States where every six months they have to decide whether they are going to act on the resolution that calls for Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel and for the US embassy to be moved to Jerusalem and they have not acted on it because they understood the political implications.\u201d<\/p>\n
