Sweden lists three reasons why US move to recognise Jerusalem 'was bad'

Olof Skoog who is Sweden's UN ambassador was one of many countries who called for the meeting. 

Skoog reiterated Sweden's opposition to Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and expresses reasons why:

1) Recognition of Jerusalem contradicts international law and that the city is a final status topic. 

2) Jerusalem being called Israel's capital has fuelled tension in a volatile and already turbulent region.

3) Risks pre-judging final status negotiations on whether Jerusalem will be the capital city of two states for two people.
