CAIRO- Foreign Ministers of the Arab League will, on Saturday, hold an emergency meeting on Jerusalem.

The meeting was requested by Palestine and Jordan, with the support of Morocco, as a result of the US President's forthcoming announcement regarding the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

According to a memorandum presented by the State of Palestine representatives, the meeting covers the Arab nations' considerations and actions as a result of this possible change in US policy position that affects the legal and historical status of Jerusalem.

The Palestinian memorandum confirmed that this forthcoming declaration is a flagrant violation of international law, relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the Fourth Geneva Convention.
