Riyadh, Rabi'I 21, 1439, Dec 9, 2017, SPA -- The National Society for Human Rights (NSHR) in the Kingdom has expressed its strong condemnation and denunciation of the announcement by US President Donald Trump to recognize Al-Quds as the capital of Israel and the intended transfer of US Embassy thither, pointing out that this step forms a flagrant violation of the rights of the Palestinian people and the peoples of the Arab and Islamic nations. The Society stressed in a statement that Trump's decision is illegal and contrary to the resolutions of international legitimacy, particularly the resolutions of Security Council and the UN General Assembly, which affirm the illegality of Israeli laws on Al-Quds and call on countries with diplomatic missions in the holy city to close them. --SPA 00:41 LOCAL TIME 21:41 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w558393
