Arab Foreign Ministers have called on the United States to rescind its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and for the international community to recognise a Palestinian state. In a resolution after an emergency meeting in Cairo, Arab League member ministers said the US had withdrawn itself as a sponsor and broker of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process with its controversial move. <br/><br/>The ministers met at the league's headquarters in Cairo yesterday to formulate a response to the US decision, which has been roundly criticised in the Arab world and internationally. They also said they would head to the United Nations Security Council for a resolution condemning the US decision as a violation of international law. <br/><br/>Arab League chief Ahmed Abul Gheit told the ministers at the beginning of the meeting that the move by US President Donald Trump is denounced and condemned. The decision has sparked protests and clashes in Palestinian territories since Trump announced the decision on Wednesday. It drew criticism from every other member of the UN Security Council at an emergency meeting on Friday.<br/><br/>Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas has cancelled a scheduled meeting the US Vice President Mike Pence in Ramallah later this month.
