Yemeni Parliament condemns transfer of the US Embassy to Jerusalem

SANAA, May 14 (YPA) – The Presidency of the Yemeni Parliament condemned the transfer of the United States Embassy on Monday to Jerusalem.

The Parliament called for the implementation of the State resolutions on the empowerment of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of a state on its national soil with Jerusalem as its capital and called on the international community not to support the American decision to recognize Jerusalem as the alleged capital of the Zionist entity and the transfer of diplomatic missions to it.

The Parliament confirmed that the transfer of the US embassy to Jerusalem, a clear confirmation of the US involvement and its support for the Zionist occupation, adding that that Arab weakness in the framework of the so-called deal Century will be a terrible disaster.
