Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki said on Monday that Palestinians will call for an emergency meeting of the United Nationsinfo-icon General Assembly after the United Statesinfo-icon vetoed a Security Council resolution calling for the withdrawal of its declaration that Jerusaleminfo-icon as Israelinfo-icon's capital.

President Donald Trumpinfo-icon reversed decades of U.S. policy on Dec. 6 and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, imperiling Middle Eastinfo-icon peace efforts and upsetting the Arab worldinfo-icon and Western allies alike.

"We are moving within 48 hours ... to call for an emergency meeting of the General Assembly," al-Maliki told reporters in Ramallah. He said the international community would "consider the decision by president Trumpinfo-icon as null and void."

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' advisor Nabil Abu Rdeneh denounced the U.S.' veto as a "provocation."

He said Monday's veto goes against the international consensus, underscores Washington's growing international isolation and "will not help in creating peace in the region."

The Egyptian-sponsored resolution would have required President Donald Trump to rescind his declaration of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It was approved by the 14 other council members, a reflection of the depth of global opposition to Trump's action.

Earlier Monday, Abbas said he will seek a U.N. upgrade for "Palestineinfo-icon," which was recognized in 2012 by the General Assembly as a non-member observer state.
