In first, key European body calls on Palestinians to stop financing terror

The leading European human rights assembly on Thursday endorsed a resolution that called on Ramallah to stop paying salaries to the families of Palestinian terrorists. It also condemned the American decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and calls for an increased European role in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

The resolution primarily deals with the consequences of Trump’s December 6 declaration that the US will recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move its embassy there.
