PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Assembly on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution for the financial boycott of the United States over the Jerusalem issue.
Terming the decision anti-Islam, the resolution condemned US President Donald Trump over declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel.
The resolution moved by Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Fakhar Azam was approved unanimously by the house.
Appreciating the government’s response in regard to the US decision, the resolution stated that Pakistan rejected the US decision in a very bold manner, which truly represented the sentiments of people of Pakistan.
The KP Assembly demanded the federal government to utilise its diplomatic channel in an effective manner against the decision. It further stated that the Muslim nation has rejected the decision of the US president in a manner which has no precedence.
Shifting of US embassy to Jerusalem was an attempt to sabotage the international consensus over the Palestine-Israel issue, along with a mortal blow to the two-state solution.
