Rejected petition HMG condemn the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

The US Government's action to unilaterally declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a violation of international law and UN resolutions and threatens to set back further talks to reach a peace agreement. This is unhelpful to the peace process and could inflame a tense situation.
