FM Zarif slams US anti-Quds move
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, May 14, IRNA -- The Iranian foreign minister in a message condemned US President Donald Trump's shameful act of relocating US embassy from Tel Aviv to Holy Quds.
"Israeli regime massacres countless Palestinians in cold blood as they protest in world's largest open air prison," Mohammad Zavad Zarif wrote on his Twitter account.
"Meanwhile, Trump celebrates move of U.S. illegal embassy and his Arab collaborators move to divert attention. A day of great shame," he added.
On December 6, 2017 US President Donald Trump decided to relocate US diplomatic mission from Tel Aviv to Holy Quds and to recognize Quds as capital city of the Zionist regime of Israel.
The US delegation consisting of Trump's daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner and US Secretary of Treasury Steven Mnuchin arrived in Tel Aviv on Sunday morning.
According to Palestinian media, Diab Allouh, Palestine Ambassador to Cairo called for the Arab League extraordinary meeting to confront US decision to open its embassy in Holy Quds.
Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States held an extraordinary meeting on Palestine Monday at the request of Iranian Majlis (Parliament) Speaker Ali Larijani, who is also the periodical chairman of Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union to discuss US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of the Zionist regime.
