Arab League ministers have called on Washington to rescind its Jerusalem shift
The status of Jerusalem is among the most contentious in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
King Abdullah underlined the need to increase efforts and coordinate Arab positions to support the Palestinians in safeguarding their solid historic and legal rights in the city of Jerusalem and their quest to set up their independent state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Most countries refuse to recognize Jerusalem as the capital because such a move complicates a peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians, who want part of Jerusalem as an eventual capital.
Al Karmi stressed that the Palestinians, mainly, the Arabs, the Muslims, and the free people of the world will not succumb to Trump's decision as they did not give up before to the Balfour Declaration. The move sparked a new wave of unrest between Israel and the Palestinians, and called into question the U.S. role in future peace talks.
"There is a political decision to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and we will strive to reach an worldwide political decision to recognise a Palestinian state. with (east) Jerusalem as its capital", Safadi said.
Jerusalem-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday called for the closure of the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, days after US President Donald Trump threatened to cut Palestinian aid.
Commenting on Trump's tweets, Nabil Abu Rdainah, a spokesman for Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, said: "Jerusalem is not for sale, neither for gold nor for silver".
Mr Johnson said that the UK-Palestine relationship is "strong and long-standing" and that both he and Mr Al Malki had expressed a wish to "strengthen it further".

The British Government has said that Jerusalem be shared as a capital between Jerusalem and Palestine.
Instead, he has suggested transferring U.S. funds from the tarnished United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), to the worldwide refugee agency, a.k.a. the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Trump's ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, a longtime supporter of right-wing Israeli causes, has continued to fuel suspicion that the administration is hostile to Palestinian aspirations.
UNRWA has always been criticized for allowing itself to be exploited by radical elements within the Palestinian power structure.
"Our Arab ministerial meeting today in Amman came to discuss the mechanism for action and joint coordination to counter the decision recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and back the Palestinians to establish their state on 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital", Safadi said.
UNRWA runs hundreds of schools for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip, the occupied West Bank, Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria.
As for Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, t Arab League branded the move a "dangerous violation of global law" with no legal impact.
