Egypt has circulated a text Saturday, provided by the media, specifically demanding that the unilateral decision taken by the US be declared invalid. This draft resolution could be passed for a vote since Monday.
Donald Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel prompted the indignation of Palestinians, protests in the Muslim world and the almost unanimous dissatisfaction of the international community.
The draft resolution stresses that Jerusalem's status should be resolved through negotiations and expresses deep regret over recent decisions on Jerusalem, without citing the US by name.
