RAMALLAH, March 28, 2018 (WAFA) - Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah said on Wednesday that the decision recently taken by Inter-Parliamentary Union on Jerusalem is a victory for values of rights, justice, and humanity.

The Inter-Parliamentary Union, during its 138 general assembly session on Tuesday, categorically rejected the latest American decision on Jerusalem recognizing it as capital of Israel and considered it null and void in accordance with international law.

On his Facebook page, Hamdallah expressed his appreciation for the decision of the Inter-Parliamentary Union, which includes 178 state parliaments, and called on the Union to urge all parliaments to press their governments to recognize the State of Palestine on the basis of international resolutions.

He also stressed the illegality of all Israeli measures and acts against Jerusalem and its Palestinian population.
