TEHRAN, December 21 - Iranian Ambassador to the UN Gholam-Ali Khoshroo said the US recent decision on recognizing Jerusalem al-Quds as ‘capital’ of Israeli regime shows that Washington pays no respect for legitimate rights of Palestinians.

Iran’s UN ambassador says US shows no respect for Palestinians ‘legitimate’ rightsTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Speaking in the UN General Assembly emergency session on Thursday, he said the US has never hesitated in misusing its veto right and violating the UN Charter for protection of Israeli regime in the Security Council against will of the international community.

“Iran categorically condemns the unilateral and dangerous action of the US to distort historical realities and replace them with making legend,” he said.

The US does not hide its motives to divert the UN Security Council’s opinion from Palestine to fabricated issues, he noted.

The United Nations General Assembly moved Thursday to repudiate US President Trump’s controversial declaration recognizing Jerusalem as the ‘capital’ of Israel. Trump threatened to withhold aid to countries that vote for the resolution.
