Cairo, Rabi'I 21, 1439, Dec 9, 2017, SPA -- Minister of Foreign Affairs Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir took part here tonight, in an emergency meeting of the Arab Peace Initiative Committee, held on foreign minister level, under the chairmanship of Jordan, which presides over the committee, too, with membership of a host of countries, including the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in addition to the Arab League chief. The meeting took place, in response to US President Donald Trump decision to formally recognize Al-Quds (Jerusalem) as the capital of Israel and to relocate US embassy from Tel Aviv to Al-Quds. This committee is an offshoot of the latest Arab summit, held on the shores of the Dead Sea, in Jordan, on March 29, to bolster the Pan-Arab initiative. -- SPA 21:54 LOCAL TIME 18:54 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w558770
