Egypt 'denounced' Trump's decision to call Jerusalem Israel's capital

Egypt's UN ambassador Amr Abdellatif Aboulatta describes America's decision to move the US embassy as "dangerous" and goes against the "framework of international legitimacy."

He said that Egypt "denounced the US decision to Jerusalem as Israel's capital" and that there would "grave negative impact on the peace process between the Palestinians and Israelis."

Aboulatta also said that Trump's decision was a "violation of international legitimacy and thus has no impact on the legal status of the city of Jerusalem."
