OP-ED: ST EDITORIAL – Jerusalem remains on the world’s mind | THE STRAITS TIMES
.
Since United States President Donald Trump announced on Dec 6 that the US would move its embassy, eventually, from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, much of the world has been dismayed, if not agitated, by the decision.
On Thursday, the United Nations General Assembly voted 128 to nine, with 35 abstentions, for a resolution demanding effectively that the United States rescind its decision.
In Asia, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and Indonesian President Joko Widodo have joined the chorus of Muslim leaders slamming the American move.
Street protests have been reported in Indonesia, Bangladesh and Pakistan, all countries with Muslims in the majority.
