RAMALLAH, December 20, 2017 (WAFA) – Palestine’s Permanent Observer at the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, said on Wednesday that the United Nations General Assembly is going to vote on Thursday on a draft resolution that calls for annulling the United States’ recent decision recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

He told Voice of Palestine radio that the General Assembly will hold a session under the title “United for Peace” to vote on the draft resolution, which asks the US to rescind its recent decision on Jerusalem after the US vetoed on Monday a similar UN Security Council resolution.

Mansour said the General Assembly will also vote on Thursday on a draft resolution on the right of the Palestinian people to sovereignty over their natural resources.

Meanwhile, the permanent observer said the United Nations Arab Group held a meeting with the Non-Aligned Movement to urge them to support the UN draft resolution on US decision on Jerusalem.
