Adhaalath Party (AP) has expressed concern over the decision made by United States of America, in declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

A statement released by AP expressed 'deep sadness' towards the US government’s decision over one of the holiest sites in Islam, adding their condemnation of the act.

It added the decision was tied with the faith and beliefs of over a billion Muslims across the world.

AP said the decision was devoid of justice, violated international laws and infringed on the rights of Palestinians.

Such a decision, the statement said, cannot rest with one nation or one organization.

The decision, AP said, will further negatively impact on relations between Israel and Palestine and the international community’s attempts to bring a resolution to the crisis.

AP had called on the US to reverse the decision and move forward with seeking a lasting solution to the issue.
