RNA - In a statement, the Arab Parliament said al-Salami presented his request in written letters sent to presidents of the parliaments of Britain, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Greece, Luxembourg and Portugal, WAFA reported.

 

Al-Salami highlighted in his letters the deep historical and strategic relations between the Arab world and European countries as well as common interests between the two sides.

 

He also hailed the historical position of these European countries which supported the Palestinian cause by voting in favor of the UN General Assembly resolution of 21 December 2017, which affirmed that any decisions and measures aimed at changing the character, status or demographic structure of Jerusalem will have no legal effect.
