MNA– Iranian top diplomat condemned recognizing Quds as the capital of Israel saying that Quds will remain Islamic and Arabic forever.

In a post in Arabic language on his twitter account on Wednesday December 6, 2017, Iranian foreign minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif says that “If half of the money spent by some governments in the region to encourage terrorism, extremism, sectarianism, and incitement against neighbors would have been spent on liberating Palestine, we would not have faced this American arrogance, which is trying to enshrine "the promise of those who do not belong and do not deserve it." Nevertheless, Jerusalem remains an Arabic-Islamic entity."

Despite widespread condemnations, the US president is supposed to announce Quds as the capital of Israel soon and begin the process of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
