The Palestinian foreign ministry has condemned the decision by acting Moldovan President Pavel Filip to shift his country's embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
"The decision is a flagrant violation of international law, international legitimacy and the UN resolutions," the ministry said in a statement on Wednesday.....
.........Hanan Ashrawi, a member of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Executive Committee, called on the European Union to take immediate action against Moldova for disregarding the EU's consensus on the Middle East conflict."The European Union should halt Moldova's political and economic integration until the latter rescinds its illegal and provocative action and realigns its policy with international law and the collective EU position regarding the Palestinian question," she said.
Jerusalem remains at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967 and later annexed the territory, a move that was not recognised by the international community.
